    Hi, I am following the docs here: https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-custom-table/#custom-models

    But not sure about what to specify for the "parent" parameter, which is described as "if you want to show model as a sub-menu". What do I need to specify if I want to place the link under an existing menu?

    Thanks,
    M.

    Hi,

    It works like the sub-menu page in WordPress

    The slug name for the parent menu (or the file name of a standard WordPress admin page)

    For example, if you want to show the transaction under the Page menu, assign the setting parent to this slug edit.php?post_type=page

    function prefix_register_transaction_model() {
    mb_register_model( 'transaction', [
        'table'  => 'transactions',
        'labels' => [
            'name'          => 'Transactions',
            'singular_name' => 'Transaction',
        ],
        'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-money-alt',
        'parent' => 'edit.php?post_type=page'
    ] );
}
