Issue changing time on batch photos - No change all button

Question

I am wanting to select a batch of photos from a wedding and change the time (one of my cameras was set to the wrong date)

However when I select the batch of photos then in LIBARY mode I go to METADATA - Edit Capture time (change the times to required)

However instead of showing up a button saying "Change all" it is only allowing me to change one file at a time - see screen shot.

Anyone have an idea on what I am doing incorrectly? Thanks so much for your help

Toggle the main viewing area to Grid View and make sure all the photo you want changed are selected in the Grid View.
LR some times doesn't apply changes to multiple images if only selected in the Film Strip section. It then only applies the change to the primary selected image.

To to be more precise for future readers: When you're in Loupe view in Library or in Develop, then most LR commands only work on the "most selected" photo (the one showing in the large Loupe view), rather than on all the selected photos. When you're in Library grid view, the commands operate on all the selected photos, regardless of whether you made the selection in the grid or the filmstrip.
