P: Support for keyword and metadata editing

Apparently Adobe do read the forums, so I've no doubt they've seen this.

I'm wondering either:
1) They don't have plans to make this feature, because it's probably quite hard to make a good UI for it, and don't want to say "it won't happen" and disappoint everyone.
= Actually, we are all more disappointed by your lack of any response in this case.

2) The feature is coming out in an upcoming release, but Adobe employees aren't allowed to discuss future product roadmaps, so they can't make any comments about it.
= In the meantime, users start looking elsewhere to find any other products that work for them. Look at Microsoft and how they've turned from being a stuffy, hard to work with corporate, into a responsive, open and transparent organisation (somewhat). Take the Office365 roadmap for a great example of openness.
We get that software takes longer to make than anyone estimates, but having some future roadmap will help us exercise those last few loyalty muscles to stick with Adobe. And maybe even be excited about what's coming up.
If you're not sharing because you don't want your competitors to know what you're up to, they could just come to this forum and see all the complaints we have about the software and I'd say that is far more valuable.

Could not Agree more

Yep all true and said as much to some of this a while ago. There is a great book about companies' history called "Good to Great" which highlights that some very good companies do not go on to greatness but in fact fail because of a lack of customer care. Adobe is obviously one of them and I am certainly searching for alternatives because I fear that Adobe will not be around for very much longer.

This thread has now been going actively for over two years. Many people have voiced their opinion about the importance of keywording in a mobile environment.  While not quite universal, a vast majority of the posts have said, in essence, the desktop is the appropriate place to do edits, but the mobile environment is very well suited for such things as keywording.  Many have also asked that Adobe at least respond to whether this is something that is being worked on or why it is not part of the plans.  It seems to me this is a very basic customer service request, responding to a two year running post!  Perhaps some day this will be used as a case study at a business school as to why Adobe has been abandoned as the go to software for professional photographers.  Adobe PLEASE RESPOND.

ARRGGGGHHHH.  The whole reason I got into the Creative Cloud and mobile app model (versus sticking with just my desktop software) was to be able to keyword on the go.  

Keywording please

I agree completely. I'm trialling Lightroom 6 CC (upgrade from Lightroom 4) and am astounded that it's not possible to add keywords in the mobile version! An obvious feature that's sadly lacking. There's no benefit to me to edit/develop images on a mobile - I prefer using a bigger screen, but Library module options would be really useful on the mobile version. 

Yup. Agree with you on that. Keep my fingers crossed in the meantime.

They rarely announce new features in advance (like most software companies), so I wouldn't hold your breath.

How can we get a hold of someone who can at least tell us if it's in the works ....
