[Question] Custom Sidebar Menu on ERPNext 15: Is It Possible to Route Directly to a Doctype Like in ERPNext 13?

Content:

Hi, I’m developing a custom Sidebar Menu application on ERPNext 15 with drag-and-drop functionality to reorder menu items.

It works like a menu builder where users can create their own menu structure independently.

The issue I’m facing:

  • In ERPNext 13, I could set the sidebar to directly open a Doctype list view, like:
    /app/supplier/view/list
  • But in ERPNext 15, when I try to create a menu item with a route that points directly to a Doctype, I get this error:
    "Doctype with same route already exist. Please choose different title."

So my question is:

Is it still possible in ERPNext 15 to create sidebar menu items that directly route to Doctypes (list view), instead of just Workspace pages?

Or is the new sidebar/workspace system strictly designed to work only with Workspaces?

Thanks in advance!
