adjustments in Lens Correction tool only partly copied
When I'm working on multiple images I tend to use the lens correction tool on a single picture (usually to compensate for the loss of exposure around the corners of the image), then copy the adjustment, select the other images and apply it to them.
However in C1 21 (14.0.2, MacOS 11.1) this doesn't work. When I have made the change and click on the double arrow inside the lens correction tool a window pops up where I can tick the adjustments I want to to copy / apply. In the other tools I tried so far (like the exposure tool) all the values that are changed from their default are automatically checked. But not in the lens correction tool. In my case only the Chromatic Aberration Correction is checked every time the window pops up. And even if deselect it, select the Brightness Correction instead and try to copy it nothing happens.
It doesn't show in the tool where you see your saved adjustements and as a result you cannot apply it to other images.
As a workaround I copied all the adjustments of the images, deselected everything besides the desired lens correction in the tool I mentioned before (because doing it this way it actually shows up) and then apply it to all my images. Maybe the developers can have a look into this.
Thanks in advance and Best regards!

As far as the chromatic aberration is concerned, does it make sense to copy the adjustment from one image to another? I thought that the way it worked (if not automatically applied as it is for some lenses) was that Capture One analysed the specific image and worked out what CR adjustment was needed for it. It would defeat the purpose of the thing to copy that adjustment to another image, rather than analysing the other image.

Paul,
Are you only selecting images that use the same lens AND the same settings for the lens?
f-stop and zoom level (if using a zoom lens) can be highly influential in lens correction terms.
Copy specific values may not be an ideal solution although generic things like forcing an auto correction calculation based on the setting shot by shot or the CA analysis calculation may have some purpose.
In terms of the CA need, as Ian Wilson has already observed, the values really need to be calculated image by image for best results. As far as I know there is no particular harm in setting the correction even when not necessary other than forcing the process to run some additional calculations that will add nothing to the results. No big deal if the system you are using is plenty powerful anyway.
Addendum:
What happens if you tick the box for Light Falloff in the Clipboard tool (when you have copied from a file that you know has an active adjustment for that parameter) and then apply it to another file?

Similar problem here, also new to 21 -- specifically that falloff correction will not paste / apply onto other images unless they are deselected, reselected, and reapplied from the dropdown menu. Use of the arrows in a way which works for transferring any other correction does not work (even though changes like Sharpness, etc. WILL transfer). Super weird and looks like a 'return' where there should have been a 'continue' (or similar in whatever it's written in).

What's copied is not the individual CA adjustment, but the toggle setting: CA correction on or off, and which kind (standard or analysed).
Regarding the actual issue: I have noticed this too, that sometimes settings are not applied completely and some are skipped. There's no need to reselect all images, though, at least from my experience. Simply applying the corrections twice usually solves the issue.
Still a bug, though, no doubt.

To answer your questions:
In that specific case I was using the same lens for all the images I wanted to apply the falloff correction, not necessarily the same settings though.
However in versions prior C1 21 I always did it the way I described in my initial post without any issues.
My intention never was to copy the CA correction I only wanted to state that there is a checkmark in the window that opens for that setting whereas the one for the falloff is missing and it doesn’t help setting it manually.As I also already mentioned it is possible to copy all adjustments I did to an image and then only select the light falloff in the clipboard tool. That way I get the result I want. It’s just more complicated then it used to be.
