Hi,
I have a website with English default content, and need to copy them to new posts in French language.
When clicking "copy from English", the custom fields aren't copied.
How should I make them copied?
Thanks.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Have you checked the following doc and set your custom field to "Copy" or "Copy once".
=> https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-fields/

There are four options to choose from:

Don’t translate
– the field is not available for translation.

Copy
– the value of the field is copied from the original language and kept in synchronization with it.

Copy once
– the value of the field is copied from the original language but it can be changed later. After the first copy, it will not be kept in synchronization with the original language.

Translate
– allows you to translate the field values.
