Importing older presets to Lightroom CC doesnt work, Legacy Process Version

Question

Dear Adobe Community

I've been struggling a few days already to figure out why I can't import all my old presets from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom CC. Those presets work perfectly fine in Lightroom Classic but for unknown reason they cannot be imported to the Lightroom CC even though they are already converted from .lrdata to .xmp file.

I'm getting Import Error:

Some files could not be imported as presets or profiles

Legacy Process Version

Is this some kind of bug or what to do in this case?

I have the newest versions of Lightroom's 2023 versions.

Thanks

P

As discussed in this other thread - https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-ecosystem-cloud-based-discussions/legacy-process-version/td-p/12747152 - Lightroom Classic supports older Process Versions, but Lightroom does not. So any preset created using an older PV in LrClassic cannot be imported into Lightroom unless it is updated to use the current PV (version 5).
