Question - Why No Duplicate Menu Items

[marcodeluca]

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.
