In the Lightroom menu / Catalog preferences / Metadata, check the box to activate face detection. Let it work overnight if needed. You can press the letter "o" shortcut to get an idea of the progress and also check upper left near the Lightroom logo to see the background process' progress.

It's a bug, I have previously reported it. It specifically occurs when you import and gives the issue you describe.

To work around the issue, delete the CatalogName Helper.lrdata (it rebuilds when you next launch Lr) and you'll find they will autofill.

Hi Denis

Only came to light a couple of weeks back when I was investigating for someone, and it's specifically for imported catalogs. The People keywords are there and are for Pr
eople, it's just the autofill that Helper seems to mess up.
