Problem/Motivation
During the usability sessions, some participants struggled with fill out the menu link add page. It has an overwhelming number of options, some are really important, some aren't important or commonly used.
Proposed resolution
We can reuse some of the design conventions introduced in #1510532: [META] Implement the new create content page design. Placing the important fields in the main column and the less important fields in the secondary column.
The form should be organised to have data in the main part and metadata on the sidebar. The most important or frequently edited stuff should go at the top in each section.
Metadata elements include Parent link, 'enabled' and 'show as expanded' checkboxes, description and weight.
Except for the "Parent link," all the sidebar elements should be tucked away in collapsed sections by default. This makes the form look neater and less cluttered.
Suggested grouping and order:
1. Parent link (no details element)
2. Checkboxes ("Enabled" and "Show as expanded"). To be decided: the label for this details element.
3. Description
4. Weight
