Question - Why No Duplicate Menu Items
I need to add menu items for the same internal content entry and the component does not allow this. I'm assuming this is intentional? I do not see any setting to enable duplicate menu items.
Is there a reason why you are enforcing this? There are multiple business use cases that this is necessary. A work around would be allowing custom links without enforcing the http, for example allowing /my-path/my-page but this is not possible either.
Am i missing an option to allow this?
+1 I don't understand the necessity either. Is it needed for internal functionality?
Hi @marcodeluca and @Adaphath
Current one entity limit per navigation is a left-over from previous Strapi version. There was relation persistence issue when the same entity was used in multiple navigation items.
There's a plan to remove this limitation in near future. At the moment I cannot say for sure when this will happen.
We have several clients that have a complex navigation tree and need to have different navigation items linking to the same page, for organizational and marketing reasons.
This is a much-needed feature, which for now we have circumvented by creating a new content type "Nav Item" that has a Realation field to choose a page, then in the navigation we link to this content type instead of to the page directly. It works, but it's cumbersome and bad practice to have a content type just to circumvent the lack of this feature.
Please allow linking to the same page from different navigation items it's truly needed in real-life situations.
Do you have any news about this feature request? We need to link different menu items to the same page without bypassing the problem!
