No associations for menu items after batch copying with new language #39868

Open lipatovroman opened 1 year ago

lipatovroman commented 1 year ago

Steps to reproduce the issue

Developing multilanguage site. Ok, we have a menu with 200 items on English language Now we need to create the same menu in Spanish. So, we use batch tool to set Spanish language and copy items to another menu. Done. We have another menu in Spanish. But where are associations?

Expected result

We should get associated menu items after batch processing with language changes.

Actual result

No associations.

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla ‎4.2.7

Additional comments

So, it's the real situation. We have 200 menu items and 10 languages. For now, we have to associate 2000 items in manual mode. It's not real.

Is expected the batch action copy the items without any relations. The only way this action can associate the items is if a new field is added to the batch modal when multilenguage is enable, to allow associate the items in the fly when a copie action is trigger.

So, are you mean, that so far we can associate 2000 menu items only by hands?

Also, the question: Why can't we to create Menu Item Aliases in batch mode? I mean to create all menu items aliases from selected menu? It's basic operation.
