Just updated to 12.2.1 on M2 Macbook Pro. Imported photos. Tried to add the location. It failed (nothing happened, no error or anything). Restarted lightroom, same issue. Re started computer, same issue. Installed 12.1 no longer an issue

I should have been more specific. I was in the map module and was trying to drag a group of ~50 photos onto the map. Tried a few locations all close to where I wanted. Tried a few zoom levels. Nothing made a difference. I should have thought to try adding the location manually. As soon as I downgraded to the previous version of lightroom it worked fine first try.

I am also using MacOS 13.2.1

I've experienced the same issue a few times over recent months. Others have also reported the issue. In my case, it's intermittent, and resetting the preference file resolved the issue each time it occurred.

How do you reset the preference file?

How are you trying to add the location? I'm not seeing a problem when manually typing location data into the various location fields, using 12.2.1 on MacOS 13.2.1 on an M1 Mac Mini.

Can you be more specific about how and where you tried to add the location metadata. Screenshots of where you tried to apply the location metadata would also be helpful.
