Joomla-cms: [4.0] New Menu item workflow

[micker]

Steps to reproduce the issue

edit or create an item
click on New Menu item

Expected result

A link to current item with title

Actual result

Nothing was select, user need to select type of link

I think we need to check context and add value inside
In category => link to category with name
In item => link to item with name
etc ...

I don't really get your point. Can you explain more clearly what you would like to achieve!?

[micker]

lol sorry did you test it (its joke)?
no sense to click on "add item link menu" in an item form and need to select type, name etc ...
when you you clic on buy did you need to reselect article in cart ??
it will be automatic

I do not understand either.
If you edit or create an item - which item? A Menu Item for a Menu? While editing a Item, it is not possible to click on "new item" this button exists only on lists.
Could you give a screenshot?

Its a bug not a missing feature

[infograf768]

The code does not create at all a single article menu item.
It just loads the menu item modal. Only the language would already be filled in case of multilingual site and the item has a language set.

                // Setup variables for display
                $linkSuffix = '&layout=modal&client_id=0&tmpl=component&' . Session::getFormToken() . '=1';
                $linkItem   = 'index.php?option=com_menus&view=item' . $linkSuffix;

                // Force the language of the menu item when multilang is implemented
                if (Multilanguage::isEnabled() && $this->form->getValue('language') !== '*')
                {
                    $linkItem .= '&forcedLanguage=' . $this->form->getValue('language');
                }

                $urlNew  = $linkItem . '&task=item.add';

Closing as this has been resolved elsewhere and is no longer reproducable
