Fix incompatibility with Menu Select module

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 23 May 2025, 3 months ago

Problem/Motivation

We use this module in combination with Menu Select → to provide an alternate UX due to the deep nesting of some of our menus. We found them to be slightly incompatible, but a small patch was able to remedy the issue.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install both Menu Select and Menu Item Extras
  2. Set up some menus, at least one with Menu Item Extras
  3. Configure your menu select widget to use Menu Select

Our main observation was that the parent menu item selector disappeared and the tool became unusable.

Proposed resolution

The patch I'll provide updates menu_item_extras_form_menu_link_content_form_alter, and checks whether the menu in question is managed by Menu Item Extras before unsetting anything in $form['menu_parent']['#options'].

Remaining tasks

  1. Provide patch
  2. Probably write some tests

User interface changes

Menu item edit page should be compatible with Menu Select if used together.

API changes

None.

Data model changes

None.
