Limit menu items available as possible parents on node creation As I create a node I want to assign i to a menu item parent. I know that I can limit it to what menu(s) are available on:


  /admin/structure/types/manage/my_type


But it would narrow it down to "only some of the menu items". For instance if I have a menu like this:


  
  Main menu
  
  Home (page)
  Service type A (page)
  Service type B (page)
  Service type C (page)
  About us (page)
  Contact us (page)
  
  


If I then have content type "Service", I don't want the editor to by mistake place the new node under About us. They should only be able to select "Service type A" (or B or C).

I would be nice if I just missed the module that does this trick.
For Drupal 6 there is http://drupal.org/project/node_menu_parent. A Drupal 7 version exists only as attachment in an issue: http://drupal.org/node/1138946
You may consider http://drupal.org/project/menu_position which sets the active menu item when viewing the page based on certain rules.
