Craft 3.4.20. Site is running multiple localizations
Sections:
Blog Post Propagation method set to, "Save entries to all sites enabled for this section"
Blog Category (Structure entry with nothing more than the default Title)
Blog Post Section entry has a field to relate to our Blog Category Structure. We have a field under our Blog Posts entry with the option, "Manage relations on a per-site basis".
A Blog Post entry has an entry field to where you can select multiple Blog Category entries from a Structure.
Issue is that editors publish Blog Posts and may not consider the other locales. You would think the relationship field would take into consideration of the setting, Manage relations on a per-site basis.
When publishing an entry under the Default site (in our case North America), and the publishing editor disregards the other Locales (the toggle drop-down for an entry on publish view), the field data of the entry relationship for "Blog Category" on North America duplicates itself to the Europe relationship field.
I don't know if this is intentional, or if the Manage relations on a per-site basis setting is not being factored in?
Is there a way to exclude certain fields from being populated with the same localization data as the default entry. I simply thought the field settings, Manage relations on a per-site basis would be factored into this and be left null when publishing a North America entry, but Europe, and all the other sites receive that same field relationship value based on North America Blog Post publish. It seems as though there is no way to exclude certain fields from doing this, and is there a solution to this?
Is it intended for the Section settings Save entries to all sites enabled for this section to override this field setting with first publish?
