Missing fields on Adobe Bridge Metadata Creator / Editor

Question

I would like to create a Metadata Template on Adobe Bridge to add autorship and copyright to my pictures. However, when I open the "Create Metadata Template Tool" on Bridge, I can only choose between fields from "Camera Data (EXIF)" and "Video" categories. All other categories (such as IPTC, Audio...) are missing.

How can I make them visible to edit their fields?

Thanks!

I am working on Adobe Bridge 2025 (Version 15.0.0.397).

Using Mac! I think I've solved it: It looks like only the fields that are enabled in Preferences->Metadata are available to be edited on a template. Which makes sense somehow.

Curious!Are you using MAC or Windows?This is what I see on Windows:It is a long time since I have used this procedure, but you appear to be correct. More fields used to be available, in particular Aurthur's contact details are now missing. I created my template many years ago and have not edited it since. It still contains and applies the fields which I then populated even though they no longer appear when choosing "Edit Metadata Template". You could report this as a bug though its more of an omission. Look under Help>Submit Bug/Feature Request...
