For example, each time a content author creates a new \"Service\" or \"Product\" node, there should **always** be a respective menu link created under the \"Services\"/\"Products\" menu items.\r\n\r\nAs it is now, this is not possible. The user either has to remember to \"Provide a menu link\" checkbox.\r\n\r\nAlso, there are cases where you want to **force** the menu link creation. Even with [Default Menu Link](https://www.drupal.org/project/default_menu_link) that sets the checkbox to enabled by default, the user can still disable it even if the site admin means them not to. Modules like [Menu Force](https://www.drupal.org/project/menu_force) come to play then.\r\n\r\nLastly, if you force menu creation, you need a way to also force menu link title creation/update. [Auto Menu Title](https://www.drupal.org/project/auto_menutitle) to the rescue!\r\n\r\nAll these are tiny modules that count a little over 1.000 installations each, but I'm sure that these features are not uncommon. I guess others that need these resort to form_alter and the likes in custom code. Can we please consider these features for core?"}}
