Top hierarchy tag exported even if the option is not selected

I have all my keywords under alphabetic top hierarchy tags because if there are too many (as I would like without hierarchy) they will not show in the list because of some Windows limit as far as I know. I have the option to include on export not checked. It doesn't matter . It gets exported anyway and when I use a third delivery program for images I have to keep erasing all those alphabet letters that got exported with the keywords.

Is there any way around it ?

I hope someday Lightroom will let us disable all the hierarchy feature altogether and we can have all our keywords in one list available to review. Don't know if this has been accomplished in windows 11 and that maximum number of characters limit has been solved ?

But for the time being an efective way to say maybe in the EXPORT panel-Do not export any top hierarchy word would solve the issue.

Have you unchecked the Keyword Tag Option 'Include on Export' as shown in attached screenshot?

The Edit Keyword Tag is available from the context menu for each keyword.

Yes.

I think I found what the problem/bug is. Even with that not checked the top words get exported. They should not as when you look at the Keyword tags "will export" those top level words are not there. But when you finally export they will get exported and be visible in another software that reads metadata (in my case DeepMeta to upload images to Gettyimages).......UNLESS you also select in the export window option (I convert to JPgs from Tiffs) the METADATA panel (Include all Metadata ) AND "Write keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy" This has to be checked . Does not matter if you did not check the "Include on export" those keywords will not be ignored unless you have that option checked in LR.

This is not intuitive at all because as you said you think that once you have the Include on export blank it would not matter if you check or not the "Write keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy". But it matters.

Thank you for your reply. For me the only way that the system does NOT export the parent keyword is if I leave the "Write keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy" activated. Even if I have the "include on export" blank.

Not intuitive at all. You would think that if that option is blank or you don't use the hierarchy the parent would not get exported. Just the contrary happens.

I any case doing this convoluted workaround as I explained will get rid of the parent keywords and that is what I needed.

I still wish that the parent keywords would NOT show up in the "enter keywords" option in the Library module as it makes everything so much more difficult to read. I can use the will export option that is cleaner but then again in this view I cannot copy and paste keywords.

The metadata panel in LR is quite messy in my point of view it should be reworked from 0 one day because there are so many things that are wrong in it that it would be a really advance the day they update it.

Please post a full-resolution screenshot (not a phone pic) showing how Enter Keywords is displaying parent keywords, and include the relevant section(s) of the Keyword List.

The only time Enter Keywords will display parent keywords is when there are multiple keywords with the same leaf name. For example, if the keyword list has two keywords, John < Smith and John < Ellis, there are two leaf keywords named "John". So LR will display the parents to make clear which keyword is being referenced:
