how to sync datetime metadata ?

Question

I have imported a bunch of photo into lightroom and make adjustments to them, then whe I wanted to export, I noticed that my camera was not correct for date and time. Instead of 27/07/2023, the time was set to 27/07/2022.

So I used exif tool to fix the dates in the raw files. But now how to resync date into lightroom ?

I tried the "Sync folder" option and then "Analyze metadata updates". But nothing happens,

so how to get the new date/time in lightroom without removing and reimporting (and loose all changes) in my pictures ?

Select the images and choose 'Metadata - Read Metadata from Files'. Note that this will also reset your edits, so you should have done this before you edited. If not, then first copy the edits, read metadata from files, and then paste edits again.
