P: Keywords created since upgrading to 11.2 are not coming up as auto complete suggestions

Issue: Keywords created since upgrading to 11.2 are not coming up as auto complete suggestions in the add keywords field when keywording an image.

 

Lightroom Classic Version Number: 11.2

OS Version Number: Windows 10 v21H1 & v21H2

 

Steps to reproduce:

Step 1: Create a new keyword in the catalogue.

Step 2: Select an image and start to type the keyword into the add keyword field in Keywords section.

 

Expected result:

The new keyword should automatically appear as an auto complete suggestion when adding keywords to an image.

For example, keywords ‘car’ & ‘caravan’ exist in my my catalogue prior to updating to v11.2. Now after upgrading to 11.2 I now add a new keyword ‘carousel’ I would expect all 3 of these keywords to appear after typing ‘ca’ into the add keyword field. However, only ‘car’ & ‘caravan’ show and ‘carousel’ is missing.

Keywords added prior to v11.2 are working but new ones added in 11.2 are not.

This happens on both my workstation and laptop (separate catalogues). I checked and this was working in v11.1.

Hello,
In Lr Classic 11.2, entering keywords no longer works as before. 

A new entry no longer proposes, as a first proposition, the keyword used in a previous entry. We are now forced to re-enter more characters or select the desired keyword from the list of proposals.

I saw that bug appears previously in 8.4

 

I'm on Max OS Monterey 12.1

 

PS: the bug is only existing in one catalog I use daily (about 50K pics), but not in my main catalog (400k pics)

Note that it isn't necessary to export the keywords. You can just make a new  text file, with one new keyword per line. When you import the file, those keywords will be added, leaving your existing keywords untouched.

Recently, I find that after I create a new people keyword for a new face, that name is not suggested when I start typing it for that same person on a different photo. Many existing names continue to be offered. It appears that the missing names are the most recent. BTW, the new entries are being entered and visible under Keyword List/People, they are just not being suggested. Any guidance would be gratefully accepted?

Hi Folks, this is as annoying one 🙂 

I have a bit of a work around, not a great one but i think it's safe enough. I have been exporting the keyword list, then adding new keywords to the text file, then importing the edited text file back into LR, the new words then work with the Auto complete. A bit long winded I know, but sometimes quicker than having to re-type keywords. Hopefully helps some-one, while we wait for a fix.

Cheers

Doug

I see the same issue, but only on keywords created after the update

Wenn ich ein Gesicht mit dem Rahmen markiere und dann zu tippen beginne, bekomme ich ein Prompt mit Vorschlägen der bereits erfassten Namen. Das funktioniert auch bei alten Namen, die ich früher erfasst habe. Wenn ich allerdings einen neuen Namen erfasse, erscheint der nicht mehr im Prompt und ich muss ihn vollständig neu eingeben.

I worked with Adobe online for several hours yesterday. They gave up, and I  did also went back to 11.1 works great. Have to wait for the BUG Fix before going back to 11.2.
