GPS data gone missing of late?

Question

So this is new...When I go out shooting landscapes or whatever, I also take a photo with my iPhone in order to capture the GPS location. After importing the raw files from my camra as well as the image out of iCloud, I then copy the GPS data from the iPhone photo and paste it into one of the raw images...and from there use the Metadata menu's copy and paste function to apply said GPS data onto all the images. I have been dong this for years without issue - so imagine my surprise today when I discovered that images I imported in the last couple of days (and I know I inserted GPS data as described above) now do not show the GPS locations! Further, when I randomly looked at images for the past two months, I saw the same thing, although I did see that images from early February still have GPS data (which was inserted as described above)So what happened to the GS data? Is there a new and exciting bug that Adobe managed to insert here?

Well, I believe a mea culpa is in order here - when I started to work on re-inserting the GPS data into various photos, I noticed that somehow the "Camera Info" checkbox on the Copy Metadata pop up window was unchecked - and so I presume that means it did not pick up the GPS data as i thought it did and so my pasting metadata effectively did nothing.

I will check back in a few days to see if the GPS data wis still there, but I am embarrassed to confess i think this might well be a case of uer error...
