Background of the issue:
I am trying to select a custom post object in ACF on a non-main page language. Specifically, on a custom post type 'Short LP' inside an ACF Form Type field, which is a post_object for 'cta_flow' post type, to select a post to be connected/shown on the current page. The current page 'Short LP' is in DE, while the main language of the website is EN. This page is unique and only for this language. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

Symptoms:
I expected to see a workable select to choose a cta_flow post and then show its data on the front. Instead, I got a message under the select: 'Warning: This field allows to select post type or taxonomy which you set in WPML translation options to "Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language". Whatever you set in this field for a secondary language post (this post) will be ignored and values from original post will be used (if you set to copy or duplicate value for this field).' The select is disabled.

Questions:
Why is the select field disabled for the 'Short LP' page in DE?
How can I enable the selection of a cta_flow post for a unique language page without an EN parent?

Thanks for your reply.

I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified.

Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements.

Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me.

✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.
