HDRs should keep the metadata of the series which is merged. This particularly concerns capture date, location data but also any other metadata like color/star ratings and keywords. As metadata across the series can deviate, a pragmatic approach could be to simply use the data of the first or the last picture of the series.
Currently, metadata of new CO generated HDRs need to be manually added after in separate tools, which actually is an unnecessary additional step makingthe workflow less efficient. And for someone like me, who is regularly creating HDRs, taking nerves.
Feel free to get in touch in case you might want to better understand.
Created a new, "compliant", template-based post, following BeO's nudge.
This one could be closed.
TY BeO ... the CO Support landing page suggested that posting here would the appropriate approach. But remembered that I had used a form before. Thanks for pointing me to it. Will also share my feedback there ... just to be on the safe side. 😉
Christian, you need to use this template to be seen by the developers:

Or the metadata from the primary variant, so the user can influence which image data be taken.
