Hello, I needed some help - I want to add data in a sandbox environment in NetSuite (I have the sandbox env, but its blank). Ideally the data should be pretty diverse (spreading across bills/invoices/inventory/customers/vendors/intercompany JEs/various accounting periods etc.), the more diverse the better because I want to use it for testing products and models that I'll build going forward. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to go about this?

Are you sure it's a sandbox account and not a test drive account? If it is sandbox account, you can refresh the sandbox account from production.

Good point - It's a a development environment - similar to the sandbox but specifically designed for testing—allowing you to input your own test data without affecting your production environment.
Ideally I don't want to use data from prod as we might expose it to GitHub etc. and I'd rather it be dummy data

I though they stopped offering that to clients in 2021, used be 2 dev account per provisioned sandbox. Try using the copy to account feature may work - usually copy to account is crap

we had to pay extra for the dev env, it wasn't included with the sandbox 🥲 THink the copy to account will mainly copy the data,, but I'd rather not use production data at all (for data privacy reasons). I'm mainly looking to upload a completely new set of financial info for this, wondering if there's any sort of ready-made demo data set available publicly

I doubt that
As a partner I usually request vertical specific demo accounts with dummy data.

I use mockaroo to get lots of random data generated quickly https://www.mockaroo.com/

It's nice for customer, vendors, employees, contacts

you can also use it to generate transaction data if you have it randomly select from your list of item or customer internal ID's

Oh that's cool. Definitely going to use that for some NSAW testing!
