After update to ver 12.2.1 my metdata panel will not show ANY previously entered metadata no matter what setting I use. The location data added by Lightroom does show (greyed out as it is supposed to be) and all metadata fields are still intact in all of my images (looked at in various other none Adobe apps). Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Sounds like the Metadata panel is in edit-only mode. Click on the inscrutable icon in the upper-left corner to switch to view-and-edit mode:

Thanks. I did not even know that icon existed. Adobe really needs to work harder to retain ALL settings in an update OR properly document what might be changed in an update. "Inscrutable" icon indeed 🙂

You might also want to click Selected Photos (right below), to get the default behavior from previous versions. Then when you select multiple photos and change a metadata field, the change will be made to all the selected photos, not just the target (current) photo. (You need to have multiple photos selected to change the option.)
