I’m thinking about using a menu_normal design area to populate our page titles. We’re using pages instead of matrix site assets for our sites therefore we cannot use the %site_name% in our designs. The only way we can find out what the page name that we are using for the site is to use the menu_area below:
Griffith University | %asset_short_name% -
This outputs what we need, however thinking if any future updates may change how this works. Are there any concerns over using menu_normal in the title?

I usually do this with an asset_lineage instead – it has the same effect, but is faster, because we calculate asset lineages anyway. Future updates should not change current behaviour.

I thought about using reverse linage from the current asset, however the parent of a page will not always be the root of the site. (not matrix site)
I tried normal linage, however there are type1 page assets above the site (really a page asset - not matrix site) in the tree which we don’t want displayed.
We want our output to be current page short name + site name. (not matrix site)
If future updates will not affect this I’ll cascade this into all our designs.
