Describe the bug
I've been working on seeing about creating an admin menu with submenu items through pods and noticed a couple of features that could be bugs, but I'm also not sure if they are working as intended.
Error 1. If I assign a Pods CPT to a Pods Settings Page that is set to show on the main admin menu (no parent), it overrides any options on that Pods Settings Page and displays just the CPT.
Error 2. If I assign a Pods CPT to a Pods Settings Page that is set to a submenu of another Pods Settings Page it does nothing.
I know that I can add a submenu page using add_submenu_page
, which would solve these issues, but wasn't sure if this was working as intended.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Organization
.pods-settings-organization
Brand
pods-settings-organization
and observe the first errorpods-settings-company
and observe the second errorExpected behavior
I would expect that in the case of Error 1., the Brand
CPT would be added as a submenu page of the Organization
Pods Settings Page.
With the CPT overwriting the Pods Settings Page, I would expect in the case of Error 2., the Brand
CPT should overwrite Company
Pods Settings Page
Screenshots
Looking at the Organization
Pods Settings Page with the Brand
CPT Parent Menu ID set to pods-settings-organization

Hello @Kpudlo
Found the issue and this appears to be a limitation in WordPress core.
See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type#show_in_menu
I'll check the action priority, it's currently set to 99 so there must be a reason for that.
Hi @JoryHogeveen
I changed the priority from 9 to 99 on one of my installs and confirmed that it will work once that is done. Thank you for your assistance!
Thanks for letting me know!
