Metadata is confused?

Dal's Photography

Hello everyone :)
I would appreciate any input on this matter:

I totally cleaned my previous versions of On1, 2021, 2022, 2023. Reinstalled all again.
I want to start making order in the mess of photos I have.

So, I wanted to create some contact preset for metadata info, but, upon trying to insert the metadata preset, it doesn't really update to all the selected photos. And in the blank filling lines, I get an odd messages for example "capture date Mixed" and the selected photos are from the same date and even photos 1,2,3,4,5, etc.... What's going on, can anyone help?

Thank you in advance, and best wishes from Uruguay.

    Without seeing what you're seeing, I'd have to say that your preset is using a different date format somehow. You might want to investigate the format that's originally applied to the photos compared with what you're trying to assign to them.

    When you select a number of photos and assign a preset to them, they should all be updated, unless the ones that weren't were the ones that gave the error message.

    Hello Rick, I thank you very much, I will check on the date format, to see what's the problem. All my photos are taken with Fuji xt4 and in this case with the lens 100-400.

    I will take another look at the issue, and if it still going on , will let you know! You were very kind to answer back!
    Best wishes for you!

    Rick, hi again, well, I tried to see what the issue is, and as you said, I see that where dates go, it says "Mixed" even if they are not, I am posting some images here, so you may see the issue? Thanks a lot !!

    Sorry, I can't find any reference to 'Mixed' and I can't make it happen either. Looks like you'll have to ask ON1 tech support what it means. 

    They may be off for the weekend, but you can contact them here...

    Attach your screenshots to the request for them to see.

    I see 'Mixed' when I have multiple photos selected with different values for common fields. An example would be Location if I went to Zion and Bryce on the same day. Location would show Mixed for a selection of images with both those locations.

    I have not been able to reproduce this for the Date field though. It always shows me the date for the Super-selected image.

    Thanks to both! I will get in touch with the support, as I am also having some other issues :)
    I wish you both a great weekend!!!
