Why are the ACF clone fields not appearing in translation jobs anymore?

To troubleshoot this problem, I'll install the Duplicator plugin and generate packages for further debugging purposes. I'll ensure to exclude all media files to maintain a minimal package size. You can find more information about the process here: [link](https://wpml.org/faq/provide-supporters-copy-site/). Please confirm if this approach is acceptable to you.

We’ve been reviewing the setup for the Clone fields and their translation settings based on the documentation. It seems that the valid options for the Clone fields themselves are "Copy" or "Copy Once," so we’ll focus on these as we investigate further.
Looking at the page hidden link, we noticed the fields come from custom blocks rather than being assigned to a field group for the page itself.
For example, the button text "Addresses across the world" is added through an "Article-CTA" block. A bit of investigation shows this block is tied to the "Section Inline CTA" field group.
Within this field group, there’s a Repeater field called "Buttons," which includes a "Button" clone field. Currently, this clone field is set to "Translate." We suggest changing it to "Copy Once" to match the parent repeater field setting.
The field it’s cloning is "Button (group)." However, we’ve been unable to locate this field within the available field groups.
Could you clarify where this "Button (group)" field might be or provide additional context?
HI, do you guys have a update for us? This thursday we wanna go live with the website. But with this issue still in place it would a bit hard to go live.

We are still unable to determine why this isn't working on your website. We set up a clean ACFML test site and implemented a streamlined version of the setup, which worked as expected. We then returned to our local copy of your site and replicated the same simplified setup from the test site. However, for some reason, it didn’t work.
I will provide updates here as soon as we have more information. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to get to the bottom of this.
If neither option works, rest assured that this will be addressed in the next release, which is expected in a week or two (assuming everything proceeds as planned).
