Create Metadata template

Several photos share same metadata XMP infos, i.e. City, Location, State, Country. 
1) Infos can be entered using Caption/Information on each photo one by one
2) It is possible to speed up data entry to create a Metadata/Template and then select this template in the drop list froù Caption/Information
I suggest to have the ability to select several photos and then apply the modification for all the photos at once, using or not a template.

Note: This process is present in Windoiws Photo Gallery which is no more supported and this save time.
I use an Epson V700 scanner and have the ability to enter metadata infos during scan process. But, it is not so easy as the 12 slides batch may contain photos which don't share the same metadata.

I don't understand the problem, select all/several images and choose the template and click on "Apply".

OK. This is working. In fact, after photos selection I activated the Edit icon before template choice and selected the appropriate template when prompted with digikam configuration/metadata template. Many thanks. Case can be closed.
