Custom Settings Admin UI ‘Custom Menu Location’ doesn’t correspond to anything or give an error submitted via Slack by jimtrue

If you type something that doesn't exist, there isn't any sort of indication, it just lets it save but you can no longer find your custom settings menu item.

@alisonmf You can tack on your suggestions for documentation to this issue. We definitely need help text here.

[alisonmf]

Yes, needs the little (?) help text. Draft:

Accepts a partial URL of the main menu item, only. For example, inputting themes.php would output the menu item under Appearances, or edit.php?post_type=page would output the menu item under Pages, etc.

That's in no way intuitive ;) same for Taxonomys

And even worse

Working Options:
pods-settings-test_settings. ( not working: admin.php?page=pods-settings-test_settings )
edit.php?post_type=book_author. ( not working book_author, menu-posts-book_author )

Never played much with WordPress Admin menus but that seems a little bit strange ....

WordPress admin menu parent>child relation are weird by definition. Maybe add some documentation for this..

As for help texts: I think all the help texts should be checked and possibly revisited in PodsAdmin::admin_setup_edit_options(). There should be an issue hanging around for this..
