Pull Request for Issue #46472

Summary of Changes

When creating a menu item via "save to menu" from articles or categories, the menu type is preselected on page load. But, the parent item dropdown does not have any items. This is because the parent item dropdown is populated only when a change event is fired on a menu type field. And no change event occurs when the page is loaded with a preselected menu item.

Fix: Added initialization logic to check if a menu type is already selected on page load. If yes, then the onChange function is trigerred manually.

Testing Instructions

1. Go to content → articles/categories
2. Open/create any article/category
3. Click save to menu button
