Location fields cannot be updated in bulk

Up until a year or so ago, I was able to select multiple images from the grid view, then manually input the relevant data in the "state/province", "city" & "country/region" fields, so that it applies the same data to all selected images.  This has not worked for a long time now & really needs a resolution because inputting all three fields manually, on every image is time-consuming & isn't a good user experience.

I use Lightroom Classic 12.3 on Windows 10.

This certainly works on an old version of Lightroom (version 5.3) which I had previously.  The expected outcome is that selecting multiple images in the grid view should enable me to provide the location details in all fields & should work in the same way that adding key words works today.
