This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
You are experiencing issues with fields not being consistently hidden in the WPML translation editor, despite setting 'wpml_cf_preferences' to specific values to control their visibility. This problem affects various field types, including dropdowns and links, and occurs even though the fields are set to translate, copy, copy_once, or not display at all. The issue persists across different testing environments.
Solution:
This issue is identified as a known problem with the 'Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual' plugin. A fix is scheduled for release in version 2.2.0. Until this version is available, we recommend ensuring that your fields are registered within the ACF on your wp-admin backend. For more details on this issue, please visit the errata page at Advanced Custom Fields Local Fields Translation Preference Issue for PHP Registered System Fields.
If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, please open a new support ticket. We also 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.
