Problem/Motivation
Starting in Drupal 8.5, menu editing regressed: if you add a menu link from the "add link" form, you are redirected back to the menu list, rather than the currently-selected menu. It is very jarring. This is a regression from previous 8.4.x behaviour that was introduced by #2767857: Add destination to edit, delete, enable, disable links in entity list builders.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
- Install standard and login
- Go to
admin/structure/menu - Click on any edit menu
- Click on add link
- Fill out the add link form and press save
A user would expect to return to the menu with its list of links. Actually, you return to the list of menus.
#2957953-43: Editing menus user-experience has regressed provides additional detail on the use-cases where this destination parameter is applied.
Proposed resolution
Remove the destination as we did in #2940165: [regression] Cannot add effects to image style via the UI.
Completed tasks
- Merged issue patches with similar work in #2957953-49: Editing menus user-experience has regressed.
- Consolidated work and test cases starting in #2957953-90: Editing menus user-experience has regressed.
- Last significant work was test tweaks in #2957953-113: Editing menus user-experience has regressed.
Remaining tasks
- This issue needs a working patch against `9.3.x` (as requested in #2957953-124: Editing menus user-experience has regressed).
- Any additional patch (test comments) feedback (as mentioned in #2957953-124: Editing menus user-experience has regressed).
