Disconnect connected translations in backend

I have translated pages in "connected" mode. Is there any functionality to switch the content elements of existing pages to "copied - disconnected" mode so we can add content elements individually to each translation. Previously on 6.2 LTS this was always possible. When doing the update to 8.7 LTS all pages with similar translations became automatically connected. So ideally we can do that easy for a large number of pages or disable the connected mode at all. It would not help to disable translate vie Page TSConfig at all.

You can simply open each content element and unset the value in the Transl.Orig: field. This way translations are disconnected from their base.

Keep in mind that mixed translations (translated and copied) are not supported on a single page, thus make sure all content elements are disconnected.

If you need to update a large amount of records this is not really feasible. In this case you may need to resort to SQL where you need to change the l18n_parent [sic] field:

UPDATE tt_content
SET l18n_parent = 0
WHERE pid = <your-pid>
AND sys_language_uid = <your-language-uid>

This would detach all content on <your-pid> for <your-language-uid>; you can remove part or all of these constraints if you want to update content more generally.
