P: LrM - Allow application of metadata to multiple photos at once

Allow me to select multiple photos and apply stars & ratings to the selected photos. Frequently I like to mark all photos as 3-stars, then filter on >= 3 stars. I then start setting photos I don't like to 2 stars to remove them from the visible set. As it is I can't mark all photos as 3 stars in one batch, I instead have to use the desktop to do it.

    I am trying to edit some assignments in Lightroom mobile on an iPad. I don’t see a way to apply metadata info like captions to multiple images at once.
    I can copy and paste one by one , but that’s too time consuming. I see the option on my android phone. The iPad version of Lightroom seems more confusing than the android. I am trying to figure out if I can realistically leave the MacBook behind for editing on location. But the mobile iPad Lightroom seems a bit cumbersome.
    I am baffled that such an important feature for a working feature is not readily available or easy to find.

      The things I would most love to do on LR mobile would be organizational tasks, like titles and captions. Those would be great to do with my iPad from the couch instead of stuck at a desk chair. Keywords also, but I see there is already a topic for that.

        Shared public links in Adobe Creative Cloud show the caption of a photo in full screen mode.

        Why not in iOS? Editing the caption would be great!

        Different teams take responsibility for different features Thomas, and it just happened that the Android team were leading the copy/paste one. Multi copy/paste just came to iOS, and multi info editing is sure to follow, as it did with Android.

        Photoshop for iPad is a 1.0 product, so it is very early days, but I've written about how to pass files back and forth here, until more direct integration is developed.

        Doesn’t seem to be in today’s update which finally gave iPads copy/paste of editing parameters into multiple images. Why is iOS behind? Who uses an android tablet for serious work? Adobe recognizes this with photoshop for iPad released today, but for Lightroom, the iPad continues to lag behind. Also, the integration between LR and PS for iPad is lacking. No way I can see to "edit in” PS for iPad from LR on iPad.

        The official blog post says "This functionality is being worked on for iOS and will be made available as soon as possible."

        Lightroom Android 4.4 has added: Change the title, caption, copyright, star rating, and or flag status for multiple photos at once.

          You cant quickly flag images from grid view on iPad. Feature should be added for desktop parity

          I would really like to see this too. It’s really frustrating not being able to do this.

          How is this still not possible after three years?

          And you’d think Adobe would prioritize this kind of basic select and change many at once, with their push to LR CC.

          I guess they’re too busy spending their record profits on something else than building the products.
