Issue changing time on batch photos - No change all button

I am wanting to select a batch of photos from a wedding and change the time (one of my cameras was set to the wrong date)

However when I select the batch of photos then in LIBARY mode I go to METADATA  - Edit Capture time  (change the times to required)

However instead of showing up a button saying "Change all"  it is only allowing me to change one file at a time - see screen shot.


Anyone have an idea on what I am doing incorrectly? Thanks so much for your help

Just tried on my system ... works as expected.

Did you try a reboot and to start over?

If it does not work, I'd first try to reset the preferences: Resetting Preferences in Lightroom CC/6
