Unable to export "Adress Lookup" location meta data via XMP

Hi, I’m trying to export the matched "Adress Lookup" meta data via XMP.

But it seem like only the manually added location data will be exported as XMP.

I like to keep track of all meta data in the DAM software "Media Pro" sort everything there and write it back via XMP.  Lightroom Classic displaays the automatically matched location data via "Adress Lookup" in light grey italic versus the manually added meta data in white letters.

 

Is this a bug, unwanted feature, or do I miss something to enable?

Hope somebdy can help.

The location data in light grey italics are the address suggestions created by the Address Look-up feature. They can be included in XMP when you export the image, provided that you have enabled the feature in Catalog Settings>Metadata Tab, 

check the option to "Export address suggestions whenever address fields are empty".

Hi Jim,

thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately it doesn't help. Of course I have also checked "Export address suggestions whenever address fields are empty" tick box, that’s why I really wonder if it's a bug.

 

Just tested a little bit more around, also double checked in Adobe Bridge, but it's only exporting manually added meta data not the "address suggestions".

 

So, I guess it's a bug.
