When working with the menus, vertical and horizontal, I am unable to assign different unique names to menu items as stated here:

When I rename a menu item, it changes on every menu. It changes the page name too. I assume this is a bug, because this is a rather large issue for usability.

Is there something I am doing wrong? Am I not supposed to use “Page Links?”

I’m experiencing the same issue and I think it might be a bug. I’ve been working on a website for a while now, and in the menu I’ve set up a dropdown element linking to a Store page. In the submenu, the first link is also set to the same page but with a different label – since many users don’t realize the dropdown label itself is clickable (as it often isn’t on other websites).

I wanted to rename the dropdown element from _Products_ to _Shop_ to make it clearer that this is where the online store is. The submenu item was already labeled _All Products_. But when I tried to rename the dropdown element to _Shop_ (or _Butikk_ in my case), the submenu item _All Products_ also changed to _Butikk_. It also renamed the page title and affected all menu items linking to that page.

See screenshots for reference.  
Did you manage to find a solution to this?  
Do I need to link it as a URL instead of a Site Page? Would that affect loading speed?

Hope someone can clarify or provide a workaround!

Here’s a screenshot of how the menu was originally set up – with _Produkter_ as the dropdown title and _Alle produkter_ as the first submenu item. Both link to the same page, but with different labels, which is exactly what I want.

In my first post, I attached a screenshot showing what happens when I try to rename _Produkter_ to _Butikk_. It automatically renames _Alle produkter_ to _Butikk_ too, even though I just want to change the label of the dropdown, not the submenu item.

So I’m wondering – is there a way to unlink the labels when two menu items point to the same page?  
Would really appreciate any ideas or workarounds!
