I photograph dragonflies and often take a series of the same individual from different angles, etc. In iPhoto I could select all of them and add the same title, and a sequential number would be added at the end of each. This was a wonderful feature that saved me untold hours. I haven't figured out how to do it in Photos.

There are scripts that do what you want, butI use Photos Workbench ($30) to edit titles. You can do things like this:
So I have year month day - counter - description for my titles. Then I can sort albums by titles. Obviously I can then have it sorted by the dates I choose rather than by the actual creation date-- good for scans.
It has many options. For example, here's a partial list of things that can be put into a title.
You can also do search and replace for titles-- especially good for correcting mistakes!
No, you cannot delete the question once written and posted. That's just the way the forum is written.
However, some good may come out of it. If you leave a note explaining what you figured out, perhaps your experience might benefit future readers.
The group edit is standard. I just wasn't thinking. I can select as many photos as I want and give them all the same title. What I was (and still am) wanting is to have sequential numbers automatically added to each title. I don't have much hope that that can be done, but if it can, I'd appreciate instructions. iPhoto had some very nice features that do not appear in PHOTOS, although Apple has added some of them over time.
I figured it out, but apparently I cannot delete the question.
Thanks for the info, Richard. Much appreciated.
How can I add same title to multiple photos (preferably with a distinctive number at end as in iPhoto)
