Develop module How to include white balance as "auto" or "as shot" when developing a set of pics in LR classic 14.1.1?

1. macOS 13 Ventura

I download a day's shots, develop the first one and then hit Cntr A and want to set all shots to have the same contrast, noise control etc from the first shot. I can do that for any setting other than 'white balance'. From picture to picture it always toggles between all 5 or six possible WB settings, but never repeats the first shots 'auto' setting that I prefer when hitting Cntr A and then option command S to sync all development settings.

In the older versions of LrC this was a given; but now I just toggle needlessly between the white balances that are available and that I do not care about and I have to reset the WB manually in every shot. And that is tediuos and off putting to me. There must be a shortcut to adjust all WBs to the desired setting, even if it is one specific 'custom' setting from the first shot.

Is there a shortcut to keep all development settings the same as chosen for the first developed shot? Thanks,

‘As Shot’ and ‘Auto’ are settings that vary for every image. That means they’ll still vary if you sync that.

Of course these WB settings do vary for every shot I develop.

Now if I set a custom WB on the first shot i develop under 'Custom' -- can this setting be, will it be transferred to all other (CTR A) pics by syncing? That would do the trick, if it worked.

I shall try and see .... Thanks.

Yes it works when I set my WB settings into 'custom' and then use CTR all to sync this 'custom setting'. So the top two WB settings are baloney, useless now in Lrc. It did not be that way before; progress retreates here vigorously. Too bad and thanks for the tip. I can work around this snafu. But do not like it at all !
