Problem/Motivation

For modules like http://drupal.org/project/menu_attributes you need a way to get a plugin ID/plugin from a plugin menu form, so you can update its values.

This allows to write generic submit functions on menu forms, which updates the values of the menu link plugins.

Proposed resolution

  • Add a menu like getMenuLinkInstance to \Drupal\Core\Menu\Form\MenuLinkFormInterface
  • If this isn't possible, add an additional interface, and implement it throughout core?

    Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
