I am using the horizontal menu component and have several items that all navigate to the correct view in the item target location, which the exception of item 13 out of 14. The item target value is the same as another item, but just has a different view name. Can anyone help with this issue?

I assume your issue is that you have a page configuration that takes a view parameter which determines which view opens on navigation.

I don't think you can pass parameters with the horizontal menu component without a script. For the item that needs to pass a parameter, make the target prop blank, and add an event script for `onItemClicked`.

```python
	if event.enabled:
		if event.label == 'Logout':
			system.perspective.logout()
		elif event.label == 'SomethingElse':
			system.perspective.navigate(page, url, view, params, newTab)
		elif event.label == 'OpenPopup':
			system.perspective.openPopup(...)
		...

```
