Lightroom creating copies of .tif files after Photoshop Edit

Question

When using Lightroom, I right click on my raw file and selelct "Edit in Photoshop". I do my edits in photohop and the file comes back as a "-Edit.tif" file. If I come back later and right click on the .TIFF file and selcet "Edit in Photoshop", the resulting changtes will be a new "-Edit-Eidit.tif" file.

Is it possible for Lightoom to update the oringal "-Edit.tif" file instead of creating a new file?

I can do this in Lightroom Classic, but I do not see a way to do it in Lightroom. I've tried searching thorugh the internet, but all of the feedback is related to Lightroom Classic.

Hey, @Serhaus. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll clarify this for you.

This behavior is expected workflow between Lightroom & Photoshop as the destination for images in Lightroom is to the cloud.

I agree I do not like this at all. I have an entire process of my own and this totally messes up my process. It drives me bonkers.
