Is there any way currently to export a solution along with the CDS records/data? If not what is best practice here, perhaps a Flow that imports the data from a central location?
Solutions cannot contain data, so you'll need to migrate the data separately. I'd suggest the Dynamics 365 Configuration Migration tool - although it is named as a Dynamics 365 tool, it should work for CDS environments
Hi @ravz85 ,
Just to supplement his answer @DavidJennaway .
Firstly, yes, as what he said, it's not supported to export solution with data.
However, you could export/import data in CDS management page directly.
You just need to click "export" in the entity, then the entity could be exported to a csv file.
Then if you want to import this data, you just need to click "import data", choose csv file.
Here's a doc about how to export/import data in CDS for your reference:
