Does anyone know if this feature is in LR 5, if not Adobe, please make it a JDI
It's not, and probably won't be.

I think everyone would prefer not to use plugins for such gaps, but Adobe invented the SDK just so 3rd parties *could* fill gaps that they knew would be too time consuming to fill themselves. I mean, search & replace is a universal feature for a text editor, but Lr is an image editor, so it could also be classified as a "niche" feature in that case. I have so far needed such feature exactly once, in Lightroom. I wrote a plugin to do it, which I haven't used since...
Don't get me wrong: I agree with you - this feature should just be done already, but it's not - so use the plugin...
