In version 1.10 and prior, I was able to programmatically manipulate the menu block parent, depth, etc., within either the hook_block_view_alter or hook_block_build_alter hooks.
Below is simple example code that no longer works on v 1.11:
function modulename_block_build_alter(array &$build, BlockPluginInterface $block) {
if ($block->getBaseId() == 'menu_block') {
if ($block->getPluginId() == 'menu_block:main') {
$block_config = $block->getConfiguration();
// assign new menu parent item
$block_config['parent'] .= <strong>$new_menu_item_plugin_id</strong>;
$block->setConfiguration($block_config);
}
}
}
If this were hook_block_view_alter, I would end with a call to $block->build().
However, the menu remains unchanged, regardless of which configuration value I try to set in either hook.
Needs review

Can you provide minimal steps to reproduce this bug? And ideally you'd be on a more recent version to ensure it hasn't been fixed already, moving to active dev branch
