Problem:
After synchronize fields with JSON files, the updated fields Translation preferences turns to “copy” mode instead keeping the original option “copy once”.

How to repeat the issue:
On localhost update some fields, all with Translation preferences = “copy once”.
Upload folder /acf-json/ to production server
On production server Sync fields.
Result: fields that had Translation preferences = “copy once” became “copy” mistakenly.

WP 6.0.1
Advanced Custom Fields PRO Version 5.12.3
Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual 1.4.0
WPML Multilingual CMS 4.5.4

Thanks for your help

You should probably be contacting WPML. Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual belongs to them.

You mean “Translation preferences” function comes from WPML and not from ACF PRO?

Yes.
