Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Ok first i am not sure if this is menu or node, and it may be user trouble or a bug
I have recently upgraded from 5.12
In Drupal 5 when you created a menu item in admin, you could assign a "description". This description could also be assigned in Menu settings when creating a node.
I just noticed that all my descriptions are now missing
Looking at Drupal 6
If i create a menu in admin, i get the same as in Drupal 5 including "description", but if i create a node I only get offered Menu Link Title, Parent Item and Weight, "description" is Missing
Could this be a defective upgrade or a bug?
I have created a new menu item in D6 and the description is saved

ainigma32 CreditAttribution: ainigma32 commentedRan a little test using a primary link entry. After the upgrade the description (or title attribute of the anchor) is gone.
This looks like a bug in the upgrade process.
Attaching a patch to fix this.

Anonymous (not verified) CreditAttribution: Anonymous commentedOK got it done a little sooner than expected. The Description survived upgrade from latest d5 to latest d6 :) so i would say it works
The only issue remaining is that when you create a node and want to add it to a menu there is no facility to add the description at that point which is a real step backwards from D5,

ainigma32 CreditAttribution: ainigma32 commentedThat would be a feature request for D6. Maybe you could open a new issue for that (if there isn't one already) ?
Could you change the status of this issue to patch (reviewed & tested by the community) ?
That is, if you are convinced you have tested it of course ;-)
After that we should get the opinion of Gabor on this little fix.

Anonymous (not verified) CreditAttribution: Anonymous commentedWell I installed a new D5 added the description then updated to D6 and it was still there so I would say it works :)
Added Feature or better termed Bug Report for second part of the issue here http://drupal.org/node/378064

Gábor HojtsyI've verified that menu_edit_item_submit() does indeed do the same stuff: $item['options']['attributes']['title'] = $item['description'];
Patch look good, so committed, thanks!
