When I insert the {tab} text annotation token it results in a question mark.

17 June 2026 It's Lightroom update time again. There are some major new features, as well as bug fixes, new cameras and lenses.
See What’s New in Lightroom Classic 15.4, Mobile & Desktop (June 2026)? also How do I sync keywords? for more details. Note: Classic 15.4.1 now released with bug fixes.

Do you have anything filled in for that metadata for the particular image? Initial thought would be that data's missing.

Winston, I haven't really used Mogrify yet but I'm sure Victoria or Tim will be around to answer your call before long!

I tested this Winston and get the same results as you do. the {return} seems to work so I am leaning toward a bug. Can you substitute a fixed number of spaces instead of using the tab?

Agreed,
I would recommend dropping Tim a note at http://www.timothyarmes.com/contact.php and letting him know. Personally, I would never use a tab and am not sure why it would be included. But, if it works for you, (in this case doesn't ;-) great.
As far as missing data, I am not sure what Victoria meant. She might have thought the ? was generated from one of the other fields being empty. Just a guess. Good luck.

Sorry, flying visit, lots of work.
Yes, Rikk was following my train of though, but it seems to just skip any missing data (i.e. caption if you haven't added a caption to the image etc.)
I've just tried it, and I get the same ? result for the tab. Drop Tim an email - that looks like a bug.
