Add to existing sub-menu

I want to add a "version" dialog to the existing "Help | About Plugins" submenu. I know how to add a submenu to an existing top-level menu, but how about to an existing sub-menu? I've tried what I think are the obviuos things, like to add the submenu, but it just makes a duplicate. CB.

You would need the instance of the submenu. I don't know of a way to get the instance after the fact, but there might be something undocumented somewhere...

Hmmmm. Undocumented feature... Sounds like a job for Todd Burch!

I also tried to reach / memorize submenus in my Extension Manager Plugin but without success.

I'm assuming the intent of the "help | about plugins" menu was so that plugin developers could list their versions, etc, all in a common location. So it seems odd that we can't get at it. CB.

No can do. We asked for this a year and a half ago, or so.

Thanks anyway, Todd. I'll just add an "about" to my own submenu. CB.

That's the best way to do it for now Chris.
