I enter a description for a photo in Photos in the description field. Export it as .jpeg. Description shows up in flickr and preview in the caption/description field in IPTC. But, if I import that same file back into Photos, the description field is blank. Searching on text that's in the caption/description field doesn't find the photo. Is there a setting where I can map the import of IPTC caption/description into the description field?
Thanks so much for being willing to respond to me. I have been importing by dragging a photo onto an album from the finder. When I use the import under the file menu, the description field is imported as well. Problem solved!

Which system version is running on your Mac?
When I export a photo from Photos 5.0 on Catalina with "File > Export > Export ... photo" and with the export settings below, the caption, keywords, titles, GPS are all there, when I reimport the exported file back to Photos, right after exporting it.
Or did you export the photo with "File > Export > export unmodified Original"? Then you need to export the IPTC as an XPM sidecar file to save the metadata.
I'm running Catalina and have Photos 5.0 161.0.120; my dialog box doesn't have the details about JPEG Quality like yours does (I wish it did so I could control jpeg compression). The Keywords, description and location are in the exported file. But when I re-import the file, the keywords and location show in the info window, but description doesn't.
I hadn't noticed the little arrow to the right of photo kind. That gives me the detail export window that you have.
