For a sidebar menu need on a site I've been working on, the menu block should display the children of the level 1 parent of the current active tree. At one point, issue 2756675 had a patch that covered this need, but the patch that was ultimately committed didn't do so.

Attached is a patch that that extends the follow_parent option on the block settings form to add that option.

@hart0554 I think this is already a feature just set "Initial visibility level" to 2, I must be missing something specific you need that this doesn't solve...

The issue summary describes a very common use case, IMO and I think it's already covered?
