Before

When adding a custom menu link through the Menu UI, the form present a field 'Parent link' in order to create a hierarchical menu structure. However, these options are not limited to the current menu but show all menus available in the database.

For sites using multiple menus, this list quickly becomes unwieldy.
For sites using a lot of menus, this list can create a performance bottleneck because of the large number of menu items being loaded.

After

The menu link 'Parent link' is limited to the current menu when creating new custom menu links. Menu links from other menus are still available when editing a menu link, making it still possible to move a menu link to another menu using the edit form.
