Apologies if this has been corrected in later versions. This was observed in DaVinci Resolve Studio 17 Public Beta 2.

In the waveform audio interface for syncing audio to video, on the Media page, there's a "link"/"unlink" icon to either manually sync audio or adjust a sync that might be slight off via timecode or waveform analysis. Now, with Resolve 17's ability to sync multiple audio clips to a single video clip, there really should be a way to select a specific audio clip that may be linked to the video clip. Multiple linked audio clips might need to be adjusted, and right now it's looking like the interface only shows and manipulates the first one.

I'm still seeing this UI limitation on DaVinci Resolve Studio 17.1 Build 24. I'm not exactly sure how to deal with it.

Suppose the audio TC for an external clip is just a few frames wrong. When dealing with just one clip, the chain icon can be "unlinked," the audio can be slipped, and then the chain icon can be clicked again to "link" the audio.

However, if there are two or more clips, there doesn't seem to be a way to get at that audio to manipulate it. So as a result, this feature is only useful if the embedded TC between the camera and all the audio clips is 100% correct, which, alas, is not always the case.

Timecode only works if everything matches, so...someone or something isn't doing the job correctly. Might want to look into solving that.

That said, your point is valid. But it may need a Feature Request to make it happen.
