- We have a menu item on our website which has two additional levels of submenus that appear in the dropdown. We would like to make these sub-menus go to two columns in the dropdown. We know how to do that by going into the Menu section of the template, setting it to extended, and dragging the menu items into two columns. However, when in this two column format, it is making it to where you have to click the level 2 submenu and then the level 3 submenu slides in. we want to keep the original effect of having the level 3 submenu popout to the side on hover. So it would behave just like it does normally (with 1 column dropdowns), but with 2 columns. Is there a way we can do that?

No there isn't. The third level requires a click - this was a design decision taken by our developers. I have even raised a ticket about this in thae past too but they do not propose to change this.

I can't lie, I love Gantry 5 but I really wish it allowed for a more flexible way of dealing with nested menu-headers and their respective menu items (at least going as far down as 2 levels deep anyways).
I get why you guys chose this option from a logic and development standpoint but sometimes there has to be a perfect balance that can be meshed to create a more fine-tuned user experience as well.
Wit that being said, I wish there was a way to possibly add a class to a Menu Header item specifically, which would allow for it to not require clicks for at least tablet and desktop breakpoints and simunltaneously force the Menu Header to display its menu item contents. I think the clicks work great for mobile as w00fz discussed in the github post and with such a promising framework, I feel that maybe my suggestion could possibly be an easy solution for developers to integrate for menu item's 2 levels deep.
Is there a way to reconsider this feature as a request if more members request it or is this a complete dead end irrespective of user requests?

Please add your comments in the github ticket I mentioned or create your own new ticket in github. Our developers will see you comments there and be able to respond there. I very much doubt that they will change their minds on this as the menu particle is just abou the most complex particle we have already and they don't want to make it any more complex. Sure you can add classes to menu items (in joomla menu manager or Gantry 5 menu editor) but adding a class is not going to do anything unless you write lots of javascript to act upon it and do something - this is not something we will be doing.
