Parity means making features behave consistently across different Minecraft editions, most commonly between Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Use this category to discuss released features that exist in both versions of the game but work differently. Please note that bugs are not parity issues and should be reported separately.

(Java Parity) Items can be placed on slabs, stairs, and trapdoors

Items such as lanterns, candles, and sea pickles cannot be positioned below (referring to lanterns), or above these blocks (lanterns are excused from this). As such, I think it would be a useful tool for bedrock users while building and decorating their bases. 

For example, if a slab (or corresponding block, stair, etc) is positioned correctly, another block can be placed on top of it without a gap in between, (or in other words, the top, or lower half of the block isn't transparent). And so, another item can be placed there. 

I've experimented with a few things, in particular, you can't place candles on half slabs, stairs, or trapdoors, along with sea pickles. Lanterns can be placed above slabs and stairs, but cannot be placed below slabs.
In Java, this feature I'm mentioning is available to them.

I would appreciate it if this was not only capable for Java users, but for the bedrock community as well.
Thank you.

    Why hasn’t this been implemented yet?? What’s the big deal? We should have gotten this in 1.18. I’m so disappointed because issues about not being able to place items on trapdoors, slabs, and stairs was moved from bug tracker to here. It seems that all that did was place the issue out of mine out of sight. Please get this included in the next update!!

    The fact that we still don't have this yet is depressing

    This bugs me so much as a builder that i cant place lanterns,pots,etc unless its a basic build block. My mostly empty,sad shelves would be a lot better if we could do this

    yes absolutely I was watching a building tutorial with millions of views on youtube and the person places sea pickles on trapdoors but that didn't work for me, so yeah this would be great
