P: Ability to sync adjustments to multiple photos at once

I think LRM is great and use it to cull and edit all of my photos. As I import into LR (desktop) from my memory card, I add the photos to a new collection that is synced to LRM. I can do 80 - 90% of my editing on my iPad Pro 12.9 inch with Apple pencil. I do review all photos later on my desktop to ensure everything looks good before I print, export or publish. As I said, I am very happy with LRM but would really like to see the ability to sync adjustments to multiple photos at once. It would reduce the time required on my desktop and make mobile editing more efficient.

Adobe where is the implementation?! It is 16/10/19 and still nowhere to be seen. Such a fundamental feature which should be implemented at the product launch and yet 3 years after this is requested we still see nothing. I can safely represent the whole community in saying we're very disappointed. Not happy Adobe. Not happy at all! Get to work and stop making false claims about the delivery of this feature...

This has been marked as implemented but it is not actually implemented, this is a critical workflow feature and it’s a joke that it’s not there and wasn’t there since day 1. Out of all the complex features Lightroom has this is a rather simple one that would be easy to put in.

Can we get rid of the "implemented" flag? It appears this feature is not available on my iPad yet

Can we update this ticket to not say "implemented"? It's not currently implemented on iOS making for a very frustrating professional experience.

This has not been implemented in iOS as of Sept 9, 2019. You can select multiple images to export or move, but not "Paste Settings..." to. You have to do it one photo at a time go to the next photo, clicking '...' (but only if you're on the edit settings dialogue, otherwise this menu won't show up (bad UX)), click 'Paste Settings...', then repeat to the next one, again and again and again, for hundreds of photos.

This is beyond frustrating as I have invested in Lightroom CC across my devices, from software to hardware to peripherals, and this completely destroys the experience for me.

Feature request: would love to be able to batch apply settings to multiple photos simultaneously in mobile iOS version of Lightroom. This would be SOOOO helpful and I’m sure I’m not the first person to think this would be great to have. Thank you so much

Yes. This has been incredibly painful for me as I’ve been traveling for a year, with my iPad as my primary editing tool. I also have a laptop, but it’s not suitable for most of my travel conditions and so I rarely take it with me. Sometimes, it proves faster to go back to my hotel, sync a change across my photos, then return to the field, rather than attempt to continue making edits one-by-one on my iPad.

It gives me anxiety that I can't paste edit settings from one photo to another on my iPad. The fact that I have to wait to go onto my iMac to do this is ludicrous. It ruins the entire workflow and my creative process.

Only on Android so far, they've confirmed they're working on iOS. I've posted instructions on your other thread.
