Description
I've currently written a PHP script which generates near 1M posts for WP from my db, to an import file, with page info as in post title, content, image etc.
Now the question is, would it be possible to automatically generate a given set of acf fields, then automatically populate them within the creation loop for the import file? If so, how would population be done, ie: with having repeater fields, images, text fields? etc - All while keeping relationship data between everything?
Having nearly 1M posts just doesn't allow for any type of "wp_insert_post" function within a loop...
Thoughts / Suggestions?

Research direction
Start with the PHP import script and the wp_insert_post loop described in the issue, then review how ACF fields, repeaters, images, and relationships are represented during post creation. Done would mean a documented, scalable approach for generating and populating the requested fields across nearly 1M posts while preserving relationship data.
