Exif Data To Identify if in Macro Mode?

Good Day!

Is it possible to tell if an image was taken in Macro mode vs. not from exif data? I am using Lightroom and do not see any indication. It would be nice to be able to identify that on my images. 

Thanks in advance.

I looked in LR and I cannot see any indication in the metadata about being in macro mode. I also looked at my Canon macro images and there’s no indication of being in macro mode except the lens description says macro.
 

Leica could append their lens description when in macro mode to include macro. My guess it would be a very low priority to add this, but it would be helpful. Good question.

macromagnification, macro, macromode are the exif tags , afaik almost all camera manufacturers include that data except leica..and its probably gonna be a crazy hex code anyways
