You should upgrade to the current Bridge 2020 for starters. Let us know how that works.

Please post a screenshot showing the results when you try to change metadata.

It is in german and it means something like: an error occurred while writing metadata.

Check to see if the file is write protected.

Can you try a program like:Exif Pilot is a free EXIF editor and IPTC editor software.

See if you have the same problem?

Hi, i've been using Bridge CS6 till now and tried Bridge 2020 facing this same issue on OSX 10.13 (High Sierra).

The only way I could label and edit notes again is by changing OSX security preferences.

Go to System Preferences > Security > Confidentiality tab > Accessibility > Clic the plus sign (+) and add Bridge in the application list.

Close Sys. Pref. and Restart Bridge (it worked for me). On more recent system (Big Sur etc.) I guess you simply add the authorization at a different level (authorise to write on disk or equivalent). Cheers
