The Customizer menu editor
The new wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields_customize_template action fires at the end of the form-fields template for navigation menu items in the customizer.

The hook lets you render extra fields there and manage them with JavaScript.

This brings parity with the wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields action.

Compatibility with existing custom walkers
These new action hooks can replace the custom walkers you’ve been using for your nav-menu fields. You’ll want to check your existing code to see where that replacement makes sense.

For more, see the related Trac ticket #47056.
For more help managing duplication in custom fields, see Trac ticket #49500. In plugins, you can avoid the issue entirely with a check for the WordPress version.
