Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 Profile Mismatch

Each time I send a photo from LR to PS for editing I receive a "Profile Mismatch", I shoot Nikon and the Colour Space on my camera is "Adobe RGB", my Photoshop is set to use "Profoto RGB"  and  I'm also using a Eizo Calibrated monitor for editing,  I choose the option to "convert documents colours to working space" but I have to do this manually each time I open a photo, can this process be automated...thankyou

    The camera setting is moot. It only applies to camera-processed jpegs. A raw file has no color space until it's encoded into one, by the raw converter (Lightroom).

    By default, Lightroom exports to Photoshop in ProPhoto RGB. Personally I think this is not a good default, because it requires that you are familiar with color management and know the implications of working in such a large color space.

    This will normally override your color settings in Photoshop. The default in Photoshop (a sensible one this time), is to "Preserve Embedded Profiles". Don't change that.

    I have the mismatch warning turned off. I always keep track of what color space I'm working in.

    I'd recommend you set Lightroom Preferences for "Edit In Photoshop" to sRGB until you're more familiar with how this works. That's the safe option.
