Metadata doesn't transfer to shared photo albums

I tried using the shared photo albums for the first time today. It seems the metadata isn't transferring with the photos. Have I missed something?


I'm using a Macbook Pro, latest Catalina update

I am afraid, it is intentional. Apple seems to be trying to protect us from sharing accidentally more than we are aware of. On High Sierra at least the filenames have been shared, but since the Catalina upgrade, even the filenames are no longer shared. If we want to share some information with a photo, we have to add a comment, when we share the photo.
