add-sample-data

authentic

Use when the user wants to seed Dataverse tables with realistic sample records so a freshly-scaffolded code app shows real-looking data on first launch. Generates contextually appropriate rows from each table's schema and inserts them in dependency order. Mirrors microsoft/power-platform-skills/power-pages/add-sample-data, adapted for mobile apps.

When to use

• Seeding Dataverse tables with sample records
• Generating contextually appropriate rows from table schemas
• Inserting records in dependency order
• Populating tables after /add-dataverse or /setup-datamodel
• Reusing prototype seed data via --from-seed

When not to use

• Seeding tables outside the approved scope
• Seeding retiring or unrelated tables
• Auto-rolling back on insertion failure
• Treating discovery results as approval for seeding
• Expanding scope by editing manifest or app plan
