When I install the plugin, I want to create 10 CPTs of a particular type, which I define in the init action hook, and want to assign 10 terms of a custom taxonomy, which too is defined in an init callback. I tried doing it on register_activation_hook, but the CPT's terms are not set. Is there a way to achieve this?

According to the docs, I needed to set the terms using post ID. So after every insert, I used the ID to set the terms https://codex.wordpress/Function_Reference/wp_set_post_terms

Someone might find this useful.
