How to make the parent menu item inactive?

Question

HTML

Can you please tell me how to make the parent item in the WordPress menu inactive?
You need to make a drop-down menu for the site so that the child items are active, and the parent item is inactive. I just hovered over it, it is inactive, a submenu appeared, selected the desired item and that's it.
In the VI settings, you can select only existing pages or posts for items, but this is not necessary.
