    }
}

Migrate File Reference

$images = [];
foreach($flexFormData['images'] as $image) {
    if ($image instanceof FileReference) {
        $images[] = $this->updateFileReference($image, 'new_image_field');
    } else if ($image instanceof File) {
        $images[] = $this->addFileReference($image, 'tt_content', 'new_image_field', $record['uid'], $record['pid'], $record['sys_language_uid']);
    }
}
return [
    'new_image_field' => implode(',', $images),
];

Migrate Inline Records

$inlineRecords = [];
$sorting = 8;
foreach ($flexFormData['inline_field'] ?? [] as $link) {
    $inlineRecords[] = $this->addReference('new_inline_table', [
        'title' => $link['title'] ?? '', // e.g.
        'foreign_table_parent_uid' => $record['uid'],
        'sorting' => $sorting,
        'sys_language_uid' => $record['sys_language_uid'],
        'pid' => $record['pid'],
    ]);
    $sorting = $sorting * 2;
}
return [
    'new_inline_field' => implode(',', $inlineRecords),
];
