Hey @BackuPs, thank you for the PR! I'm missing the relevant context that would help me review your work, would you mind sharing what's different before and after this PR? And also what's the best way to test it?

@adamziel Hi Adam,

I am sorry i was not clear enough. I am talking about the new abilities added in wordpress .5.4 as described here.

https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/02/25/wordpress-5-4-introduces-new-hooks-to-add-custom-fields-to-menu-items/

Please read the comments to that article as well.

Wordpress allows you to create new custom menu settings but the wordpress importer does not connect them to the menu item. It only does so for the default menu item settings. Below part of the code class-wp-import.php

The fields / settings added by users are completely ignored by the importer. So exporting and creating a xml file results in a correct file. But at import they are lost and one has to re-enter them allover again.

Below a example of custom fields added.

The suggested code change restores and adds the custom fields to the corresponding menu item.

A ticket from 12 years ago describes the issue already https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1678

I hope this provides you enough information to understand what i am trying to do. If not please get back to me and i will try to explain better.

Thank You
