In LR 11.0, MacOS 11.6.

I select several images in the grid view. Edit the location info in the Image section. The metadata is only set on the 'most" selected image. It used to correctly set the data on all selected images.

This is a real problem for me. If I go out and shoot a few hundred images, now I have to edit each one individually. Unacceptable.

I did not check to see if any other fields exhibit the same behavior. This was enough for me.

Is there another (reasonable) way to set the location os a set of images?

Correct answer Ian Lyons

You need to tap on the 'new' and less than obvious 'Select Photos' button as shown in below screenshot. This enables the ability to apply metadata to multiple selected photos

Lightroom Classic 11: It appears that when you try to apply the same title or caption to multiple photos in grid view only the first selected photo retains the title or caption. Please advise work around or confirm bug.

Hello,
I just installed LrC v11 and was shocked that all Image Metadata (Exif, IPTC, XMP,...) are disappeared.
The corresponding fields are all empty!
I went back to Version 10.4 with old catalogue file and they showed up again. See screenshots.
Win10 Home build 19043 / LrC v11 german language
Please fix this since Metadata especially IPTC Caption is the most important part for professional photo journalists.

Version V11

We haven't seen any reports of dropped metadata.

Do you still have your original 10.4 catalog and the 11.0 catalog that was upgraded?

Greetings! Is there a way to apply the same title to multiple photographs? I take bird photos and will end up with many of the same species. So far I haven't found a way to apply the species name to all of the photos of that bird. The spray can doesn't work for titles, for instance. Thanks in advance for any help.

To all those who struggle to apply title to multiple images, you have to change the setting from "target photo" to "selected images" - see attached screenshot. Then just type in the title and hit Enter.
