Dear Elliot
I have some data in an excel spreadsheet
I also have set up ACF fields for this data
I wish to bulk import using phpmyadmin
First into the post table
then into the postmeta
How is it best to handle the field key?
Many Thanks
Luke

Hi @lukehm

If you take a look at the update_field docs:
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/functions/update_field/

You will see how ACF saves the field key as a reference value.

How are you planning to do the import? Pure SQL or PHP?

Thanks
