Lightroom Classic CC Target collection

[angelas92353670]

I have just upgraded to LR classic CC. When I try to add multiple photos to a collection, it only adds the first one. I have tried selecting all the photos I need and adding them, or one at a time, and either way it only ever adds the first photo. When I click on individual photo, it tells me on the filmstrip that it is in the collection, but when I click on the collection, there is only ever one photo there. Help!

Are you adding from the Grid, or the Filmstrip? Usually Lightroom only allows multiple items to be added from the Grid.

I tried one at a time from the filmstrip, and also multiple photos from the grid. Both only resulted in the first photo I selected being added to the collection.

I finally got it to add to a collection by putting them in a Quick Collection, selecting all the photos, then creating a new Collection, and adding all the selected photos.

Generally with any weirdness my first step is to restart Lightroom. The next is to reset Preferences (Hoold Shift + Option on Mac or Shift + Alt on PC while restarting Lightroom).

You are correct.  Yet another example of bad design from Adobe continuing forever.
