Im not sure where to mention, hope you can help or send it to the correct support user.

I just tested with the new version 1.8.0 because in the changelog is mentioned:
Translated posts are no longer marked as needing an update when the author only shuffled repeater subfields.

this solved the problem when I shuffel the repereater blocks, it isn't marking the translations as updated is needed, and when viewing the translated version in frontend it has been updated the new order is used in the translation.

Thats GREAT thanks 🤩 🙏
ONLY: when I afterwards edit some text in the page, the translations are marked as update needed, and when opening the translationeditor, the whole previous re-order isn't updated in the translationeditor and all content has been shuffled again.

thanks Rob

Hello there,

When you mentioned that you edit some text on the page, do you mean making changes to the repeater fields or the content on the page?

I am also asking our developers if it's fixed yet or have some issues with it.

Thanks

Hello there,

Our developers are still working on this issue, in the meantime, you can use a native WordPress editor to use that feature as a workaround.

Hello there,

We recently released a new version of WPML plugins so can you please update the plugins to the latest version and let me know if that helps.

We push out WPML releases gradually. If your sites haven’t received this update yet, give it some time and you’ll see the update in a few days.

To skip the queue and get the update right away, to the Plugins → Add New page, click the Commercial tab and then click the Check for updates button.
