 * Hello,
 * i wonder how to use wp cli to create a Dropdown Menu. I can add PAges to a header
   using the following command:
    wp menu item add-post Header <PageID>
 * However, how do i add a Dropdown menu? In the UI of WordPress, this can be achieved
   pretty easy by dragging and dropping. How to do this with cli?
 * Thanks for your support!

 * Hi [@durrmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/durrmann/)!
 * You can nest menu items via WP CLI using the `--parent-id` argument. For example,
   to nest an existing menu item with `db_id=11` underneath a menu item with `db_id
   =10`, run:
 * `wp menu item update 11 --parent-id=10`
