Description
Creating two sub-menus with the same "menu slug" using add_submenu_page() should create only the last sub-menu.
But it creates two sub-menus with the same "menu slug".
Based on documentation "menu slug" should be unique for each sub-menu.

While it really doesn't seem to cause any issues having duplicate pages, it does seem a bit odd to me that duplicate sub menu items are allowed.
function test_add_duplicate_menu_page() { add_submenu_page( 'plugins.php', 'Test', 'Test', 'manage_options', 'my-test-page', '__return_null' ); add_submenu_page( 'plugins.php', 'Test', 'Test', 'manage_options', 'my-test-page', '__return_null' ); } add_action( 'admin_menu', 'test_add_duplicate_menu_page' );
That, for example, will register two "Test" submenu items that both point to the same page.
Is it an issue? I don't really think so but it is a bit odd. What if we prevented the second one from being added (or replaced the first) if all arguments are the same?

Closing as wontfix. Complete lack of interest on the ticket over the last 2 years. Feel free to reopen when more interest re-emerges (particularly if there's a patch)
While it should be unique, I don't think the behavior you're seeing is necessarily a bug. The function is "add", not "update". If you want to replace a menu, remove it then add it.
