My product translation won't sync new adjusted manual added productattribute:

hidden link the colour is set to: Colour
Yellow / Transparent
But if you check this page in Dutch: hidden link the colour is still: Colour
Pink / Transparent

And I can't change this on the Dutch product, because the field is locked.

Hi,

I would eventually also need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site
– preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible –
in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed

Your next answer will be private which means only you and I have access to it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I would additionally need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important.

✙ Please add the Links to the […] Edit Screen, the Page/Post where you insert the […] and the corresponding Front End Page/Screen

Best Regards,
Marcel

Sure, no worries. If it’s easier for you, you can also share a Duplicator package for local investigation: https://wpml.org/ko/faq/provide-supporters-copy-site/.
