When a user creates a new paragraph field, it applies this value new value to all translations.
It's probably easiest to explain with an example:
Say there is a content type that has a paragraph field (Book Genre), and that paragraph has another paragraph entity field (Title) in it, which has unlimited options. so let’s say...
My Custom Node has the paragraph field field...
--My Paragraph Book Genre which has the sub-paragraph field...
----My Book Titles which have no limit on the number of Titles used.
What’s happening is if English has a Book Genre with 3 Titles, all translations have those three. titles.
I’ve read about this and it seems this is just how paragraphs work and people have talked about creating Asyncronous Paragraph Translations, but nothing seems stable. For now, we can live with the same number of Book Genres being used with each translation.
The problem I’m trying to solve for is, if a user adds a new Title to the En language, that Title is applied to all translations. It would be ok if the field was blank, but it’s problematic that the value is also automatically applied to all languages.
So if a user adds “On the Road” to English, now the Japan page will automatically show “On the Road”. That’s a problem for our case.
I’ve tried translation default values and trying other settings, but haven’t found that it’s possible to set new values to only create in the language being updated.
Is this something I’ll have to write a custom module to try to prevent, or are there settings I’m unaware of.
Thanks
