Hi,

I want to add paramater name and value in menuItem. I checked this link - [Site Menus - Bloomreach Experience Manager (PaaS/Self-Hosted) - The Fast and Flexible Headless CMS](https://xmdocumentation.bloomreach.com/library/concepts/hst-configuration-model/sitemenu-configuration.html). But according to this I have to add one by one “hst:parameternames:” in each and every menuItem. Is there any way that we should configure “hst:parameternames” one time only and whenever we add any new menuItem, parameternames should add automatically.

See the heading " Exposing Configuration Parameters through the UI". The prototype item is I think waht you are looking for.

I tried this “prototype item” option but it was not working. but When I rebuild the code and rerun then the changes were reflecting. I am not sure that this is the expecting behaviour or not.

@jasper.floor : Thanks for checking this.
