Situation: When an image is tagged with GPS coordinates, Lightroom Classic suggests location data which si shown in italic in the respective fields:

Challenge: The data is only shown in the Lightroom interface but not merged into the meta data of the original image.

Solution: I seeked adivce previously and since then, I used the AnyTag plugin. Due to a Lightroom bug, I can only commit the location data to 10-15 images at once which is a pain when you want to tag 1,000 images.

Does anyone have a solution that works?

I don't seem to have the same "bug". What is the Lightroom Classic bug? Please describe in detail.

@flip838 is referring to this bug, acknowledged by Adobe, where plugins that invoke child programs (e.g. Exiftool) can sometimes crash LR on Intel Macs:

So when flip838 invokes the Any Tag plugin's Commit Locations command on a large batch of photos on their Intel Mac, it will invariably crash LR.

I don't know of any other way of committing that location data so that it no longer shows as italic in the Metadata panel. Absent such a method, a user has to put up with LR's buggy handling of suggested (italic) addresses, where half of LR recognizes them and half doesn't:
