Bridge Not Saving Metadata to DNG files (title, keywords, descriptions)

Question

I'm trying to prepare images for posting to galleries and stock. I'm using the FileInfo screen to enter the information for the Title, Description and Keywords. I check the apply after each image. It saves the first attempt but even though it allows me to reopen the FileInfo screen and type the data for the next image, it will not save the data.

I've refreshed (f5) inbetween and tried to purged the cache on the next image before starting and it won't hold the data.

I'm entering data for images that were converted to DNG with Adobe DNG converter via lightroom during the 2018 to 2021 time periods so the DNG formats.

Test this with bridge 12 and 13... neither work. I'm primarily using 12

If I go to Lightroom library and enter the info and save from there, it updates the files and the data if viewable in Bridge.

It there some key combination I can use to force Bridge to write the data from the FileInfo screen to the DNG versus just clicking the "apply" check mark. As this does not seem to be committing the changes.

Quick question: where/how are you verifying that your data is in the file or not? If you place the data in Bridge, LRC will not know about that addition because it was not done IN LRC. Similarly, that data may or may not be in the file when you insert it via LRC because it might be in the Catalog but not in the file. To do that, you need to have this box checked in the Catalog settings (adjacent to LRC's Preferences):

Also note, if you have a large catalog, it can take a bit of time for this to be updated to all files in the Catalog.
