This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are unable to add a different URL in a Custom Post Type field for the English version of your website, as the URL field is blocked.
Solution:
We recommend checking the workaround provided on the Advanced Custom Fields - Inability to Translate External Links in Same Fields Across Languages page. This should help you unlock the URL field and allow you to add different URLs in your Custom Post Types.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
