Background
Hi Community,
I’m working on a customization in Employee Center involving the mega menu and I need some technical guidance from anyone who has extended the OOB navigation components to add a drop down caret to the subcategory of mega menu.
The caret logic is controlled by the OOB Employee Center Navigation widget, which is flagged as:
- High‑Risk (may not receive updates if modified)
- Read‑only / Protected by platform security
- Used heavily across Employee Center
Because of these restrictions, I’m trying to determine the safest way to implement this customization.
Is it feasible and supported to customize or clone the Employee Center Navigation widget specifically to adjust the logic that determines whether a caret should appear for sub‑categories?
Additional Clarifications I’m Looking For
- Does cloning this widget cause upgrade‑compatibility problems in Employee Center?
- Has anyone successfully overridden the caret logic (e.g.,
hasChildItems(item)) through safe customization of "Employee Center Navigation" widget.
Any guidance on whether customizing the widget is advisable—or if there’s a more upgrade‑safe alternative—would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
