Hi

Could you please change the function process_menu_item($item) to this so custom menu fields added by plugins or themes also get imported. It is a easy fix for a missing piece of code that has been asked for several years.
`

function process_menu_item( $item ) {
	// skip draft, orphaned menu items
	if ( 'draft' == $item['status'] )
		return;

	$menu_slug = false;
	if ( isset($item['terms']) ) {
		// loop through terms, assume first nav_menu term is correct menu
		foreach ( $item['terms'] as $term ) {
			if ( 'nav_menu' == $term['domain'] ) {
				$menu_slug = $term['slug'];
				break;
			}
		}
	}

	// no nav_menu term associated with this menu item
	if ( ! $menu_slug ) {
		_e( 'Menu item skipped due to missing menu slug', 'wordpress-importer' );
		echo '<br />';
		return;
	}

	$menu_id = term_exists( $menu_slug, 'nav_menu' );
	if ( ! $menu_id ) {
		printf( __( 'Menu item skipped due to invalid menu slug: %s', 'wordpress-importer' ), esc_html( $menu_slug ) );
		echo '<br />';
		return;
	} else {
		$menu_id = is_array( $menu_id ) ? $menu_id['term_id'] : $menu_id;
	}

	$backup_menu_item_meta=array();
	$backup_menu_item_meta['postmeta']= $item['postmeta'];

	foreach ( $item['postmeta'] as $meta )
		${$meta['key']} = $meta['value'];

	if ( 'taxonomy' == $_menu_item_type && isset( $this->processed_terms[intval($_menu_item_object_id)] ) ) {
		$_menu_item_object_id = $this->processed_terms[intval($_menu_item_object_id)];
	} else if ( 'post_type' == $_menu_item_type && isset( $this->processed_posts[intval($_menu_item_object_id)] ) ) {
		$_menu_item_object_id = $this->processed_posts[intval($_menu_item_object_id)];
	} else if ( 'custom' != $_menu_item_type ) {
		// associated object is missing or not imported yet, we'll retry later
		$this->missing_menu_items[] = $item;
		return;
	}

	if ( isset( $this->processed_menu_items[intval($_menu_item_menu_item_parent)] ) ) {
		$_menu_item_menu_item_parent = $this->processed_menu_items[intval($_menu_item_menu_item_parent)];
	} else if ( $_menu_item_menu_item_parent ) {
		$this->menu_item_orphans[intval($item['post_id'])] = (int) $_menu_item_menu_item_parent;
		$_menu_item_menu_item_parent = 0;
	}

	// wp_update_nav_menu_item expects CSS classes as a space separated string
	$_menu_item_classes = maybe_unserialize( $_menu_item_classes );
	if ( is_array( $_menu_item_classes ) )
		$_menu_item_classes = implode( ' ', $_menu_item_classes );

	$args = array(
		'menu-item-object-id' => $_menu_item_object_id,
		'menu-item-object' => $_menu_item_object,
		'menu-item-parent-id' => $_menu_item_menu_item_parent,
		'menu-item-position' => intval( $item['menu_order'] ),
		'menu-item-type' => $_menu_item_type,
		'menu-item-title' => $item['post_title'],
		'menu-item-url' => $_menu_item_url,
		'menu-item-description' => $item['post_content'],
		'menu-item-attr-title' => $item['post_excerpt'],
		'menu-item-target' => $_menu_item_target,
		'menu-item-classes' => $_menu_item_classes,
		'menu-item-xfn' => $_menu_item_xfn,
		'menu-item-status' => $item['status']
	);

	$id = wp_update_nav_menu_item( $menu_id, 0, $args );
	if ( $id && ! is_wp_error( $id ) )  {
		$menu_item_db_id=$id;
		$backup_menu_item_meta['postmeta']= apply_filters('wordpress_importer_menu_items_meta_import',$backup_menu_item_meta['postmeta'],$id);
		$skip_meta_items= array('_menu_item_type','_menu_item_menu_item_parent','_menu_item_object_id','_menu_item_object','_menu_item_target','_menu_item_classes','_menu_item_xfn','_menu_item_url');
		if (is_array($backup_menu_item_meta['postmeta'])  && !empty($backup_menu_item_meta['postmeta'])) {
			foreach ( $backup_menu_item_meta['postmeta'] as $meta ) {
				if (!in_array($meta['key'],$skip_meta_items)) {
					update_post_meta( $menu_item_db_id, $meta['key'], $meta['value']);
				}
			}
		}
		$this->processed_menu_items[intval($item['post_id'])] = (int) $id;
	}

I do not want to change the plugin every time to get this part to work. The code works just fine and imports the custom fields added by any plugin or theme to a menu item.

The function is found in the file called class-wp-import.php

Please confirm adaption of this code change.

And that's why this is open source, you can send in a pull request.

@jrfnl Well if i add a pullrequest i get a check failed on php 7.3 which does not make any sense as it is not on the code changes i made.

It's the WordPress coding standards checks that are failing. You can see the failing rules here: https://travis-ci.com/github/WordPress/wordpress-importer/jobs/402491804 It looks like it probably just needs spaces around everything.
