jamieA-2	Background of the issue: I created the custom post type 'product' using the register_post_type() function with 'has-archive' => true and 'rewrite' => ['slug' => 'products']. In the WPML settings, I've set the custom post type to be translatable. I am trying to change the slug of the custom post type in French to 'produits'. We are using the last version of WPML (4.7.0) and PHP 8.3.19. We have no plugins installed other than CF7 and ACF. Symptoms: When I try to change the slug of the custom post type in French, the page reloads, but the changes are not saved. The same issue occurs with other custom post types. Questions: Why is the custom post type slug translation not saving?
