My workaround was installing the previous version.

    You mean the Black & White Mix sliders? If so, yes it looks as though syncing B&W treatment does sync the B&W profile (Abobe Monochrome) but applies Auto Mix to the treatment, irrespective of how the sliders were set in the source image. Which I guess is a bug, which may have already been raised, but it wouldn't hurt to report it at the official Adobe feedback site: Lightroom Classic CC | Photoshop Family Customer Community

    Hi All,

    The above issue should be resolved in the Lightroom 7.3.1 version released today.

    To update Lightroom Classic CC to 7.3.1, click "Update" in the Creative Cloud desktop application next to Lightroom Classic CC. See Update Creative Cloud apps

    Here's a list of what's fixed and changed in the latest release: New features summary for the October 2017 and later releases of Lightroom Classic CC

    Regards,

    I just downloaded 7.3.1 to a new laptop and came to Google because I can't seem to get the sync button to sync the Black and White treatment across multiple images. So no, apparently 7.3.1 didn't fix this bug as it's July 2018 and I've just discovered this issue.  Reverting back to 7.2 for now, is there a solution to this I missed?

    To clarify, if I do a black and white edit on an image and then select it followed by 8 other images, and then choose "Sync" and select the "Black and White Mix" option to sync, one image out of the 8 I selected will randomly turn black and white but the others remain in color. If I go back and reselect the sample image and the same 8 images again, and hit "Sync" again, the window that comes up the second time has completely removed the "Black and White Mix" option from the list of settings and I can't even try to redo the sync.

    First of all update to 7.4 and see if it is fixed


    I am now on LR 7.5 and the sync function in the develop mode does not work for synching BW settings, has anyone found an answer to this?

    I have reported a few bugs in this area

    - Previous button fails to copy the B&W mix

    - Sync Settings dialog omits the B&W mix

    - Slider values are reset to 0 when switching from B&W to colour and then back again

    One (not wonderful) workaround is to create a new preset.

    Thanks John, I guessed you would have reported these issues.

    You can sync B&W using the "Treatment & Profile" check-box in the Sync Settings dialog box.

    But this doesn't sync the Color settings.
