Populates Dataverse tables with sample records for testing and demoing a Power Pages site. Use when the user wants to add sample data, seed data, generate test records, or insert demo data into their tables.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
> **Plugin check**: Run `node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-version.js"` — if it outputs a message, show it to the user before proceeding.
# Add Sample Data
Populate Dataverse tables with sample records via OData API so users can test and demo their Power Pages sites.
## Core Principles
- **Respect insertion order**: Always insert parent/referenced tables before child/referencing tables so lookup IDs are available when needed.
- **Use TaskCreate/TaskUpdate**: Track all progress throughout all phases -- create the todo list upfront with all phases before starting any work.
- **Fail gracefully**: On insertion failure, log the error and continue with remaining records -- never attempt automated rollback.
**Initial request:** $ARGUMENTS
---
## Phase 1: Verify Prerequisites
**Goal**: Confirm PAC CLI auth, acquire an Azure CLI token, and verify API access
**Actions**:
1. Create todo list with all 6 phases (see [Progress Tracking](#progress-tracking) table)

How to install
mdr add microsoft/power-platform-skills/add-sample-data@sha256:c0bf2b7711b8f249The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260619.f001179, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
