Shift/Apply White Balance....possible bug?

If I make a change to the White Balance of an image (it changes to Custom instead of Shot) and then select other variants and choose Shift/Apply, the White Balance of all the other variants changes to the same reading - perfect.

However, if I like the Shot White Balance of one file and try to Shift/Apply it to other variants, nothing happens.

Shift/Apply is only working for me if I have changed the White Balance of the Primary Variant.

Surely that's not right?

Thanks.

  Yes, it's slightly annoying, but it is behaving as intended. When you copy, you copy adjustments. If you haven't adjusted anything, there is no adjustment to copy and apply to another image. I too have often wished I could copy the "shot" WB from one image to another. Perhaps a workaround would be to make a very small adjustment, like changing the Kelvin value by just 1 degree. You wouldn't see any visible difference, but presumably it would then be an adjustment, and you could copy and apply it.

  After copying the adjustments, you can select the white balance in the 'Adjustments' tool tab.
  Pasting the adjustments onto another image will apply the white balance from source image, even the 'Shot' one, correctly.
  No need to do a small change.
