Editing exif data in elements 2018

Is there a way of editing exif data in Elements 2018 organizer? It would be nice to include data from a manual lens that can't be read by the camera.

You can't edit the exif fields about lenses from the editor or organizer, you can only read them.

There are external utilities like exiftool which let you edit them.

I don't know your purpose, but why not simply create a custom keyword to add in your catalogs? You can 'write metadata to files' if you want that info to be stored in the file itself.

Thank you very much for your reply. That should work just fine. I just want to make a note of the lens data the camera can't read.
