I created a option sub page that I would like link to

edit.php?post_type=my-templates

How can I do? I am using a code like that, that is not working…

acf_add_options_sub_page(array(
 'page_title' 	=> 'My Templates',
 'menu_title'	=> 'Edit Templates',
 'menu_slug' 	=> 'edit.php?post_type=my-templates',
 'parent_slug'	=> 'myparentslug',
 'capability'	=> 'manage_options'));

Adding an ACF options page will link to that options page and cannot be made to link to something else.

What you are looking for is add_submenu_page() in the WP codex here https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_submenu_page. Omit the $function parameter if you want to link to some other existing admin page.

Hi thanks for your Answer

What i should put as parent menù slug considering the parent is an ACF option page (admin.php?pAge=myoptions Does not. Work)

Just you “myoptions”, the following creates a sub menu item than links to the page edit admin

add_action('admin_menu', 'add_my_admin_subpage');
function add_my_admin_subpage() {
  add_submenu_page('myoptions', // parent slug
                   'page title', // shouldn't matter 
                   'test link', // menu text
                   'manage_options', 
                   'edit.php?post_type=page');
}
