Copying photo geolocation data from one photo to another

Is it possible to copy geolocation data I've added manually to a photo (Location, City, State/Province, Country) to other photos? My camera doesn't support geolocation, so I'd like to be able to manually update one photo and then copy the gelocation data to all the other camera photos.

You can do this in Lightroom Classic by going to the Map module and dragging images that you want to have the same GPS location as one you already have onto the pin already on the map for the one you have geotagged. You can also do this by syncing metadata and only selecting the GPS data in the Library module. You cannot do this in Lightroom Cloudy

Ok. Thanks, Jao! Not ideal for Lightroom Cloud users, because it seems like a pretty easy feature to add.

It is a long standing request. You should add your vote here: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/are-we-going-to-get-geotagging-back-in-new-lr-cc 

You can see that many people want it but Adobe hasn't prioritized it yet. I know they want to add it at some point but I have no insight when that will materialize.
