User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:
The label "menu type" is misleading. "type" is a general concept, here a unique name is required. It would be great if the description could be restored. At least the label should make clear that this name must be unique in the whole system.

The whole handling is contrary of UX. This name is like a alias name - maybe better to use it like in content or elsewhere.
I honestly have no idea why we have it or what it is for. I am guessing it is an internal name - if so then there is no need to expose it at all and it can just be autogenerated like the alias

The "Menu Type" label is replaced by "Unique Name" in the "Title" column.

The description in v3 refers it as system name. Would System Name be better?

The search box has tooltip Search in title and menu type. that needs to be updated.
I am not really happy with this solution.
For users ist is important to know that this is a unique name and that it is used only by the system.
The term "menutype" is used many times especially in com_associations, so it has a meaning for developers. Why not add again the description for users?
Then in #20787 (review) we could add the menutype like the alias in com_content/articles.
I never understood what this meant anyway
