This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client needed to automatically copy two values from the main language to the secondary language on their site. These values were: Meta: _yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex and Google product feed: Hide product from feed (Y/N). They could not find documentation to assist with this.
Solution:
We advised the client to set these fields to be automatically copied by navigating to WPML -> Settings -> Custom fields translation section. Here, they should click on 'Show system fields', search for the fields, set them to 'Copy', and save the changes. For further guidance, we provided a link to our official guide on setting the translation configuration for custom fields: Translating Custom Fields.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to automatically copy two values from the main language to the secondary language on my site hidden link. The values are: Meta: _yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex and Google product feed: Hide product from feed (Y/N).

Symptoms:
No documentation found to assist with automatically copying values between languages.

Questions:
How can I automatically copy the meta value _yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex from the main language to the secondary language?
How can I automatically copy the Google product feed setting 'Hide product from feed (Y/N)' from the main language to the secondary language?

Thank you!

Unfortunately it's not possible with "Google product feed setting 'Hide product from feed (Y/N)"

Hi there,

Please share a link where I can see the custom field (checkbox) in the backend.

Also, share the access credentials to the site so I can take a closer look. I have set your next message private so you can securely share the credentials.

Looking forward to your message.
