stephenP-3	IMPORTANT: Please switch this ticket to be private. I "misclicked" and it's public now. Hi. I have set all the fields in question to "copy once". Field groups to not translatable. ACFML and ACF Pro latest version installed. WPML latest version installed. I have multiple post types and the process of translating whole page (including ACF flexible content field) to the new language has been working (it still works in our sandbox environment with same settings). Now, when I create new translation (EN -> FR/DE/PT/ES) it doesn't "carry" the ACF field values from original to new translations. I created new field group with new fields and tested the whole process, it doesn't work either. I have no idea what caused it all of sudden. Need help, urgently.

If you require it, let me know and I will enable your next reply to be private. Do I understand right, that you are translating your fields with the WordPress Editor? If so, then your filed group should use the field group setting "Different fields across languages". Take note, that "Copy once" means that the field values will only be copied when creating the first translation of a content and after that, they will no longer be copied. Also, layouts will be synced and be identical on each content when using the WordPress Editor. Please use this test site, and let me know if you can replicate the behavior here: One-Click-Login: hidden link Best regards Andreas
