I've created 2 custom content type, called Pages and Devices:

But when I click on Pages (or Devices), it redirect to Content -> Content Items, not "staying" on Pages (or Devices).
i.e. here I clicked on Pages:

But the menu item "Pages" its not highlighted.... Content -> Content Items is.
I remember I used to do this in the past...
It seems it works if you place the menu item "under" the Content Type. I think that's a bug :)
Can you let us know which version you are on? I believe this was resolved after RC1
Are you able to reproduce? Nice.
Not sure which version.
I dotnet new occms from template, added yesterday using dotnet new -i OrchardCore.ProjectTemplates::1.0.0-rc1-*
It helps? Or let me know how to catch the version ;)
Can you try with the myget dev feed?
I checked, it is resolved there. You should see in your url a query string param ?admin=88337225
/Admin/Contents/ContentItems/467h0xrtddg0ts9757aaykm1m3/Display?admin=88337225
Which is how it has been managed.
The myget feed is available with dotnet new -i OrchardCore.ProjectTemplates::1.0.0-rc1-* --nuget-source https://www.myget.org/F/orchardcore-preview/api/v3/index.json
Or see the docs for a more complete example https://docs.orchardcore.net/en/dev/docs/getting-started/templates/
Can't try now. I'll try in the future with a new version, too see if this has been fixed. Thanks
Please reopen if you can repro it with the dev feed
