Lightroom: Edit capture time "Adjust to specified time" broken
Edit Capture Time used to work (at least, I remember it working). Now it seems to be completely broken. Even if I click "Adjust to a specified date and time", it adjusts all the photos relative to their current dates, which is completely wrong, and very frustrating.
Here are two photos that were taken in May, 1925. One of them has the wrong date.
I try to adjust the dates of both of them
and afterwards, Lightroom has marked one as having been taken in the 19th century
I have run into many issues with setting the dates for historical photos, but I thought I had figured this out. (It would be nice if Lightroom had the facility to set the XMP metadata that correspond to the date of the image vs. the date that this copy was made, but I have never been able to make that work). But at a minimum, Edit Capture Time "Adjust to a specified date and time" really should work correctly. Otherwise you have to edit each photo, and you cannot copy and paste into this dialog.

If you'd like to have another option that allows you to set all the selected images to the exact same date & time, I'd look for another post on the subject and vote for that feature request. It's been requested a number of times over the years and I definitely agree that it would be nice to have.
If/when I need to do it, I use the ExifTool utility by Phil Harvey. I'm pretty sure there are also some plugins that accomplish the task, although I don't know any names off hand.
