Description

Description

We wanted to raise this issue we've encountered after converting fields from the Reactor plugin to CKEditor. The sub-text field is not displaying on the navigation menu. While it appears correctly in the field settings and is linked to CKEditor as expected, it is not showing up on the navigation menu itself. However, the data is correctly displayed on the front end since it is being fetched from the database.

At the moment, we're unable to modify the existing data on the menu. We are investigating this further and will keep you updated.

Research direction

No repository files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the dashboard navigation-menu edit flow with Craft 4.11.1, PHP 8.2, MySQL 8.0.35, and the listed plugin version; trace why the CKEditor-converted sub-text field is absent from the editor while present on the front end. Done means existing menu sub-text is visible and editable in the dashboard.
