Waveform sync overwrites video clip metadata

STEPS
Fill a video clip's shot metadata with a's.
Fill an audio clip's metadata with b's.
Sync by waveform

RESULT
Many fields of the video clip's metadata (like scene and take) are overwritten with the audio file's metadata

EXPECT
No overwriting of user-generated metadata

Note: Using the unlink button will also clobber the video metadata if you've changed it since the sync.

Great! I searched for a similar sync report but didn’t find these. Thanks Jim.
So this has been known about since at least 2019. Though in that report people couldn’t decide if this was a bug or some sort of strange intentional feature.

Perhaps someone from BMD will discuss it here with us.

It's intentional. That Feature Request is to change the behavior, so add your vote if you like it.
