[BUG] As shot WB can be copied but is not applied

[afx]

Copy WB (as shot) from one image to another will change the values displayed in the WB tool, but it will not change the applied white balance, as it is still set to as shot (it would need to switch to custom) which makes copying the WB rather tedious...
A manual switch to As Shot is needed.

so you switch the first picture to custom (which does not alter that image) then copy the custom setting to all the other images, yes?
One could have a long debate about whether 'copy WB as shot' means to copy the 'as shot' menu item or to copy the settings of the source image

/sarcastic mode ON

did WB copy ever work since the first betas of B4 and from there on?

/sarcastic mode OFF

it always had me stunned that WB copy was the one thing that always made trouble.

Yes, that is the standard workaround.

Which would be exactly the same... The settings are copied. But in this case a clean copy is not what the user intends.
What is the user expectation? To see the copied WB applied, not to see a verbatim copy.

As Bernd wrote, that is not new....
