GPS and Altitude Metadata Missing

Somewhere in light room there’s a checkbox to include Exif data or not when you export.
 
In my original post I attached a couple of screenshots of my Lightroom metadata panel from Sept. and Jan. to show the change. Did the screenshots show up? I didn't fly between October and New Years, but the problem persists.
I have the same problem and not been able to track it down.
The new updates didn't fix it.
 
The same problem?
Since there was no problem with the OP's photos, I suspect that yours are fine as well.
Post an original, untouched jpg file from the drone and I'll check it for you.

I just checked both .jpg and .dng and the GPS data is there.
But after import its stripped off.
I'm not sure if DJI changed the data format and Lightroom can't under stand it to convert it to XML or KMZ.
Let me know you thoughts please.20210131-DJI_0010.JPG
 
I will try this on next import. It worked problem fixed.
"Do you apply a metadata preset during import? If so, check to make sure the GPS, Altitude and Direction fields (in the Camera Info section) are NOT checked."

That image appears to have the full set of Metadata including GPS location data in the XML section

Yes the problem occurs when you use the ITPC and Metadata together it deletes the GPS data.
The fix was to import using only the metadata and that works.
