P: Ability to copy/sync settings/adjustments across a group of photos

It seems that I am unable to copy or sync adjustments to multiple images in the new LRCC? I just imported/uploaded my first job with over 1200 RAW files, and need to set my base contrast/saturation/sharpening to all the RAW files before I begin my select edits. For some reason my "paste edit settings" is greyed out when I have multiple images selected. I'm assuming this may be some sort of user error on my part, there is no way a professional photo editing tool would not allow the use of base settings applied to a group of photos. However even when I go back to "add photos", there is no option to apply a preset on import like in the old Lightroom? Adobe please help! LRCC is obviously useless to me if I have to Ctrl/Copy Ctrl/Paste 1200 times a day... Thank you,

    You have to be FREAKING kidding me. No batch editing???????????? Do these developers ever USE the product? My work load just quintupled.

    Apparently you need to vote here for it to be implemented on mobile: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/sync-adjustments-to-multiple-photos-at-once-in-lr-mobile

    The question is : how long will we need to vote this feature to expect the implementation?

    No, I don't speak for Adobe, so I'm not commenting on their thought process when making priority decisions. There are different teams working on the different versions, with different limitations and different roadmaps etc., so features rarely get added to all versions at the same time. 

    I'm just saying that people who voted on this thread and who also want it on mobile (which is likely all) might want to also vote on that thread so they're notified when it comes to mobile.

    I hope that's not Adobe's excuse for not implementing this on mobile.

    Clearly the current thread has had a lot of feedback and requests for this particular feature on both the desktop and iOS versions.

    The "Lightroom for mobile" forum doesn't get nearly as much attention as this one. The product isn't even called "Lightroom for mobile" on iOS, it's still Lighroom CC.

    Great news... as of today's Lightroom CC desktop releases, you can now paste settings onto multiple photos in Grid view.

    Please add partial copy & paste of development settings as in LR Classic and LR CC on mobile platforms. It doesn't make any sense that this is implemented on mobile platforms and not on the desktop. As a rule of thumb please make sure that all features are consistently implemented on all version (desktop and mobile) for the new LLR CC
