As this works only for Menu "Single Article": do you plan that Menu Item and Article are selected by Default?
@franz-wohlkoenig I don't understand your comment
After click on "New Menu Item" in Modal:
- "Menu Item Type" is preselected by "Single Article"
- "Select Article" is preselected by current Article.
ah - i understand you now. it would be useful but not essential
useful but not essential
true.
And thank you again for such a great pull request as your very first one
I have tested this item
Works as described - great new feature
Probably will need updating in the near future when we have a replacement for bootstrap modals but for now its fine

Without article being pre-selected, this is a shortcut to menu item form. Which is out of place both in terms of UI and code.
