Nested entries are stripped out in other languages

[gregorterrill]

I think there may have been some kind of regression with #254 recently. A client just brought to our attention that nested entries in translateable CKeditor fields are not copying over to other sites when creating new entries (on initial save), and I've been able to reproduce that on multiple sites.

I can manually copy/paste the nested entry from the primary site to the other site where its been stripped out, and that works, but it of course creates a duplicate nested entry with a new ID and isn't actually a translation of the original nested entry.

When I open the nested entry in its own window and try to use the sites dropdown, I only see the current site of the parent entry with the CKEditor field. I'm fairly certain this wasn't always the case. Do I have some configuration setting wrong, or has the behaviour around this changed in the past few months?

Craft 5.7.9
CKEditor 4.9.0

Hi, thanks for reporting!

I tracked it down to a change in the CMS, and I’m working on a fix.

To clarify, the ID of an entry nested in a translatable-for-each-site CKEditor field should be different for each site.

Let’s say you have two sites: siteA and siteB, a section with propagation method set to all (Save entries to all sites enabled for this section) and a CKEditor field set to be translatable for each site. The content of the CKEditor field should be independent between the sites, but when you first create the root entry, the initial content should be copied to all the sites. Because the content should be translatable (fully independent), the ID of the nested entry will be different for siteA and siteB. Thanks to that, you can edit the CKEditor field’s content independently for each site and add or remove nested entries independently for each site. In other words, it’s the CKEditor field that’s translatable, not the nested entry inside the field (I hope this makes sense).

I’ll update again once I have a solution.

This is fixed for the next Craft release. Thanks again!
