Not the best solution but you can always use
ExifTool. The alternative was to shoot JPG + RAW where the camera saves EXIF data onto the JPG file and we manually copy the EXIF data from JPG to DNG file or using the Exiftool which does let you copy EXIF metadata from one file to another.

Steps listed below is for Macs and I don't have a Windows machine to test but should be pretty identical or you can read through their documentation.
1. Download the Mac OS package
2. Install package
3. Open Terminal
4. Change directory to where your photos are (that has both JPG and DNG)
5. Run the following command without quotes and replace the FILENAME with the actual name of the file.
"exiftool -tagsfromfile FILENAME.JPG -all:all FILENAME.DNG"
6. Open lightroom and click on the up arrow you will see on the image that just changed. See picture below. (It might take a while for this to happen because LR doesn't seem to do any hot reloading and maybe its just a periodic scan. You can also close LR and reopen to force this reload)
Hint: You can press the up key in terminal to get the last command so you don't have type every time you want to run the exiftool command.
Sort of a lengthy post but hope that helps. And I certainly don't like doing this and hope Autel will update the firmware to add EXIF data to DNG files.
Other then this the new beta firmware is great, not one complaint for me. It is ten times better than it was.
