Comment:

 I believe @mensmaximus is correct regarding available hooks:

 -
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_insert_attachment_data/
 wp_insert_attachment_data] for attachments.
 - [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_insert_post_data/
 wp_insert_post_data] for everything else.

 However, hooking these filters means the callback will run on each insert
 - something that might be undesirable. For this reason, the proposed
 action hook would be more appropriate.

 The action hook in the patch ''may'' need to use `$shared_data`, because
 `$post_data` is extended with data for each post in the `foreach` loop,
 and this additional data would only be for the last post in the loop.
 @helgatheviking, @Mte90, what do you think about this?
