"Export containing keywords" doesn't work if synonym is used

Lightroom Version Number

10.1.1

Operating System

1. macOS 10.15 Catalina

If I assign a keyword synonym to an image, containing keywords are not exported, even if "Export containing keywords" is checked. If I assign the keyword itself (non-synonym), containing keywords ARE exported if that box is checked.

This isn't a huge deal, but it does make synonyms less useful.

Interesting observation, I'd never noticed that. Put it in as a bug at Adobe Photoshop Family

If I assign a keyword synonym to an image

How are you assigning a synonym to the image? In the Keyword Tags panel, if you enter a synonym, LR will create a new keyword of that name and assign it rather than assign the synonym's keyword to the photo. In general, the only thing you can do with synonyms is use them to search for photos, despite ten years of feature requests:

I can't replicate this problem on Windows/10, LrC 10.0. To test it, I created a KW structure with a Parent KW (including a synonym). Under this parent are two child KW's, one with a synonym and one without a synonym. All 3 of these KW's have the top 3 check boxes checked (Include on export, Export containing, and Export Synonym). I assigned both child level keywords to an image and exported. The resulting JPG image had all the expected information . It had both the keyword and synonym from the parent, the keyword name from both child keywords and the synonym from the one child keyword that had it.
