I upgraded to Photoshop 21.1.3 yesterday to get the new ACR (version 12.2.1.417) just to try out the new ISO dependent preset feature. I saw the Julieanne Kost post back in February and was mildly interested. The feature allows assigning default noise reduction (and other settings) during import based on ISO.
About 3 hours later, after a lot of hacking xml code with Notepad, I got it working. What a Hoot! As an old, former programmer, I actually enjoy hacking code. But I can't imagine how the non technical users will deal with this.
Help from Adobe is sketchy at best, but I found an excellent blog post that explains it very well.

The author spends a lot of time bashing Adobe, which they deserve, but then gives you everything you need to know. I spend a lot of time now shooting with auto ISO, so I get values across the full range. Having default noise reduction, and maybe sharpening, is handy. I'm curious why this has received so little attention since the release in February.

I already had all the iso defaults at 1/3 stop made - so it really broke my workflow in a bad way.
The solution i found to get back to where i was- was so comprehensive and ill documented that i wanted to wait till they made a front-end solution- not a hacking one.
I am still waiting for it. Untill then i stick to vs 19.1.
but i will try your link- a dutch link i see...

I agree, and I am surprised it was released like this, but the new method is better than the old.
See this web page which writes the xmp https://jakub.serych.cz/W/lrpreset/ and my approach based on sampling already-edited photos http://lightroomsolutions.com/iso-dependent-presets/

Sorry I missed that. I don't use LR, so I don't pay much attention to that forum.
Now that I've got it working, I'd like to test the interpolation to see if it's simply linear. Has anybody done that analysis?

You wouldn't be able to use my method, but the other one would produce the xmp file.
The interpolation is not linear - it's stop based.
