Copyright meta data does not export to file

I have Lightroom 6 setup to export All Metadata which would include the copyright information I set up.  However, non of the copyright info gets saved to the image when exported.  All other metadata does however.  What am I missing?

    And consider a tool like ExifTool by Phil Harvey to view that metadata.

    does someone have a proper link?

    And, in Windows OS, is a empty field for Copyright shown? Or is no field shown at all?

    I see the point Bob Somrak is making, but let me ask differently??

    In Lightroom, the exported copy, does the copyright show up?

    Yes, in the export dialog a button has to be checked

    No, nothing specifically needs to be checked in the Export dialog in order to include Copyright info, as that is always included and cannot be omitted, no matter which option is selected in the Metadata section.

    But as the OP states that "All Metadata" is selected, that tends to suggest that no copyright info has been set in the Library's Metadata panel, and so that should be the first thing that the OP should check.

    Using Windows, right click on the image and view properties>details


    Just import the image back into Lightroom and see if the copyright is there.

    This sounds familiar, I think it has come up in this forum before.

    incidentally, a link on exporting with and without all or some metadata, just in case you checked a box incorrectly

    Something in the back of my head makes me think to ask, in addition to filling out the copyright field, did you select a correct value in the copyright status field.
