This problem is actual for me too.

Eeschema fields in Pcbnew (RFC) 
I understand Kicad is in feature freeze and getting ready to release soon, this 
is an RFC for a feature for Kicad 6.0 (or whatever is next).
Proposition: add the ability to import custom fields from Eeschema into Pcbnew 
via the netlist
As a design engineer, I work closely with our production branch and the ability 
to export xy-data with user-created fields (namely, internal part number in our 
case) is a need. Currently, I'm looking at generating a .bom file from Eeschema 
with the needed fields, generating .pos file from Pcbnew per usual, and using a 
script to rip out the needed data from both and reassemble in our desired 
format. This proposal covers getting the data into Pcbnew, I'll probably send 
out another proposal for more customizable XY-data output later. If this is 
approved, I'd rather Kicad support this out of the box and I can maintain a 
branch until Kicad is ready to merge it.
This would require a .kicad_pcb format update and would not be backwards 
compatible (unable to open new format in old Kicad). I'm imagining key-value 
pairs like "(customfield $fieldname $fieldvalue)" for each (module ...). There 
may be interest in being able to draw these to the board, I'm not sure, maybe 
that could be added later if this gets approved.--
