Question/Suggestion

Is there currently a script or built-in way to prepopulate the application with sample data (such as instruments, trades/transactions, portfolios, etc.) for demo or testing purposes?

If not, it would be very helpful for onboarding and demos to have a script or documented method to seed the initial state with realistic sample entities and data. This would let users quickly see the functionality in action without having to manually create every entity and transaction.

If this already exists, could you please point to the relevant docs or script?

Thank you!
