# Core/Navigation with multiple sub menus

 * I am using the core/navigation block to set up a navigation that has multiple
   levels of sub menus.
 * This is fine, however I want the menus to open on click, rather than hover. To
   achieve this I select ‘open on click’ from options in the editor. Perfect!
 * Now on the front end, as expected the submenu opens fine on click, and then the
   next level sub menu opens fine on click. Now if I want to open up another submenu
   from the second level, I go to click it but the whole menu closes. This is because
   the “aria-expanded” label gets changed to “false” on all level of submenus when
   I click twice within the submenu, or try and change the focus to a different 
   link.
 * I expect the first submenu to stay open, as I open and close the next level of
   links within it. Then if I clicked out of the entire nav, all submenus will close.
 * How can I change the how this functions?
 * I realise that may have got confusing so here is a screen recording of the issue–
