My ACF fields are configured to "copy once" for translation purposes, but I'm facing a peculiar issue:

After translating a post or page, I can delete the content in the custom fields without any problems.

However, if I later return to edit any of these fields, the other empty custom fields automatically refill with content from the original version (default language). This refill happens only when I edit one of the fields, not automatically upon opening the editor.

Hi Marco,

Thank you for contacting WPML support, I'd be happy to help you with this issue.

I test this issue again on my demo site and do not see that. After publishing the translation post, I can delete or update the field value as well. Can you please take a screen record of the issue on your end? Or try to replicate it on a clean installation of WordPress. You can login directly with this link

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks
