Lightroom Classic : Ability to sync Keywords with the Lightroom Ecosystem
Keywords do not sync correctly: When added on the mobile app (iOS), they do not appear in LR classic and not in LR Web (I deleted the new LR CC immediately, this version does not make sense to me).
Same problem into the other direction: Keywords from LR classic do not appear on the mobile app.
Attention: At this stage the whole keywording within the iOS app should not be used!

Oliver - this is as-designed behavior.
Lightroom Classic uses hierarchical keywords.
Lightroom CC (all platforms) uses a combination of AI keywords plus user-entered keywords in a non-hierarchical schema.
When you migrate a Lightroom Classic CC catalog into Lightroom CC there is a one-time transference of keywords from Classic to CC but those keywords are flattened out of their hierarchy.
A hierarchical schema is not compatible for various workflow reasons with a flat schema - ergo there is no syncing of keywords between the two. The two products are designed for different audiences and workflows.
There is a feature request for addition of hierarchy in the CC world: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/keywords-controlled-vocabulary You can add your vote there and include comments.

I am an Engineer by myself and know how difficult such a sync mechanismn is. Let us hope the best that they change their minds and implement it later.

This gives me hope that Adobe is fixing the Keyword Sync. No Engineer is implementing caption sync and not keyword sync. Anyway, caption sync is working for me because I am doing all my keyword tagging with Photo Mechanics and fill caption field automatically with name of picture folder and keywords.

However, this may explain why some of my keyworded images from LR Classic show Keywords in LR/CC and some do not. And, that explanation - according to this thread - is that some of my synced images have metadata written back to the image file and some don't - which is entirely possible.
I just took one of my CR2 RAW files which did not show any keywords in LR/CC and saved the metadata to an XMP file in LR Classic. Indeed, the keywords did not appear in LR/CC desktop or LR Web. However, an DNG image with saved metadata does show Keywords in both LR/CC Desktop and LR/CC Web but changes made to keywords in classic do not migrate to the cloud.
I think I need another computer to help me understand this logic which is quite inconsistent. Given Adobe's justification of no folders being "why should you care what folder something is in as long as you can find it:" - I'm surprised that they would give us a situation where you have to know the underlying file type in order to know how the system will work. I'm hoping that is a bug and not a design feature.
