Essential Sound - Can't apply "Dialogue" tag to multiple sound clips

Hello! I'm using Adobe Audition 23.3.0.55 in Multitrack view, and I'm trying to select all of the clips I have in several tracks to assign them as "Dialogue" so that the clips in another track - flagged as "Music" - will duck properly.

 

However, when I select my clips and assign the "Dialogue" tag in the Essential Sound panel, the tag is not applied.

 

Is there some additional step that I need to take in order to apply tags in this way? Is this a known bug? I have a lot of clips and clip segments in these tracks and going through to flag them manually will be very tedious indeed.

 

Thanks for the help.

I think I just figured this out - the buttons on the Essential Sound panel are there to refine the selection, not to apply the tag! To apply a tag I have to go to the preset dropdown right above the buttons.

It seems to work fine here on a PC... I selected several clips across two tracks; at the top of the Essential Sound box it says 'Multiple clips selected' - I selected Dialogue and they all ended up with a 'Dialogue' tag in them.

I'm also on PC (on Windows 10, if that matters.) That's exactly what I would expect to have happen! Here's a video I took of me going through the process to illustrate what it is that I'm doing and what the result is...
