Using the "Tool" Copy Apply Does Not Work as Expected

On each tool panel there is the double arrow, copy/apply, feature. I expect it to work in a manner when I select multiple files and press this button that it would apply "only" this tools settings to the other files and not "all" the changes made to the file w/ other tools, e.g. change only "Sharpening" but it changes any changes, "Exposure", "WB", etc...


thanks

  Your expectations are correct and this is how it works. But it would help to help you if you describe the sequence of your actions to understand what is going wrong.
  
  Bottom-line is that these 'local copy and apply' double arrowed tools can work without the adjustment clipboard but can be used with. In the latter case, other adjustments might come with it.

  Hello Paul,
  In the middle of testing this feature to return results I was getting inconsistent behavior so I restarted the program. Upon restarting, the options within the Adjustments Clipboard ("AC") are no longer available, only, "Autoselect Adjusted" and "Copy to Clipboard". Is this standard?

  Scratch the last reply, removing the tool and replacing it solved this issue, now back to the core problem.
  
  After some more testing I think removing and replacing the tool in the panel has solve the other erratic behavior. The tool now only makes changes to the specific item which I have selected, e.g. WB, or Clarity and not applying all of the changes made.
