I do a lot of film photography, which I scan, and edit in Photoshop.  I am trying to fnd a way to add my camera and lens into to the metadata so this it will show up on Flickr, instead of the scanner model.  Those fields in the File Info menu are not editable.  

 

Thanks!

The LensTagger plugin for Lightroom Classic will let you do this and more.

This might be possible via scripting, otherwise ExifTool would do the job. Edit: looks like LensTagger is a specialised GUI for ExifTool.

 

I'd need to have a sample file with the metadata to change and a screenshot to verify which exact fields need to be changed.

Use Adobe Bridge.

I tried that earlier, but it did not let me edit the camera info.  I'll give another try.  Thanks!

    Thanks!  I was looking at that earlier, but I didn't see the camera options page.  That seems like the plugin to get.  Do you know if it will work in Photoshop as well?  I don't use Lightroom for my analog images.

    The plugin is for Lightroom Classic only, so you'll have to import the images you want to tag.

    And it's not possible to edit Camera Data fields in Bridge.

      If you are on a plan with Lightroom, this is really the tool to do this: fast and easy to do on many images at once.
