Prior AI mask edits all need updating

I have found the latest version 12 requires updating of ALL previous image edits undertaken using AI masks.

Open edited images where masks have been used, select masks and message appears alongside a triangle with a ! : "Some AI masks need to be updated". Anyone else find this problem? Any simple solution or do I now have to re-edit all images because the new masks in version 12 corrupt work done in prior versions?!

Not sure if this will help anyone but here is the fix Adobe gave me and it worked. So my lightroom catalogue is stored on an external thunder bolt drive to my Macbook. I went in to system setting, privacy & security, full disk access and granted lightroom classic full disk access. After this i went in updated the AI masks and they have stayed even after closing and reopening lightroom. Hope this helps.

Mine was already on when I checked full disk access. When I use Lightroom cc I don't have a problem with my masks and AI sticking. When I use Lightroom classic is when the problem starts. I have had this issue since last December and been on phone with Adobe a few times trying to fix it. Their stupid suggestion is to install the last version that did work. That would be from last October when the AI features weren't available.

I have been experiencing all of these issues I am reading about for awhile now but kept thinking it was a fluke with an image. I am now realizing it's consistent. I have wasted so much time trying to fix it and trying to search for others having these issues. Even if I get it to recognize a person, it doesn't mask things properly anymore. I don't mean by a little. It's completely off on everything, which makes it completely useless. Would this issue be created because I move my external drive from my desktop to my laptop? It's never been an issue before. OR would the use of Filter Pixel have caused some issue because it seems to coincidently have started around the same time I started using that application?

I'm seeing exactly this issue. Add some content aware healing, come back to the image a day later and it wants updated.

Selecting the images and running update from the menu is a work-around. And it relies on knowing and remembering it's needed. Work-arounds aren't the same as fixing broken functionality.

And to the suggestion of importing to a clean catalog, that's a helpful option to diagnose if it's due to crap in the database, but it's a gawd-awful solution (because it throws away so much of your data - just watch it wipe all your collections and publish service content - that's a big fat no thanks).

Yes. Exactly as it is designed to work. If you change the sky by changing a dust spot, you need to recalculate the sky. See: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/p-perform-spot-heal-removal-before-sky-selection-not-after-for-best-results/m-p/12487304

I had the same problem and I tried every trick I could imagine. After a many failure, I solved this misterious issue by exporting all my catalog to a new file by Export to new catalog function. Lightroom creates a new catalog and a new .lrcat-data folder. After opening the new catalog, AI masks do not ask for an update everytime I open Lightroom and everithing works just fine. May be the issue is connected to a light corruption of catalog or ircat-data content.

I hope this information can help somebody in trouble like I was.

Did you try to repair the original catalog in anyway?

This suddenly happens to me every time I open a picture with AI masks in Develop mode! It's easy to update, but even though I updated the masks a minute I go I have to do it again if I have switched to another photo in between. On LR Classic 12.2.1 release. (Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1)

And I forgot to mention, these are not old AI masks that I made in a previous version of LR, but I created them today with the same version of software and Mac OS. I think I made them all with the sync settings function using the masks of another photo however, so they may not have been created specifically for that image.

Note that the Develop menu item Settings > Update AI Settings only updates the current photo, not any other photos selected in the filmstrip. And it is sometimes greyed out even when the settings need updating (a LR bug).

But the Library menu item Photo > Develop Settings > Update AI Settings updates all the selected photos (if you're in Grid view), and it is never greyed out.

Yes, but I have updated using both methods, The problem still persists.

In Library, select all the images and do the menu command Photo > Develop Settings > Update AI Settings.

Thank you for your suggestion on updating the AI masks in LRClassic, John. I recently merged several LR catalogues and now find that all of those masks I applied need to be updated. Your tip will save me a lot of time.
