      <title>Populating collection data</title>
      <link>https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Populating-collection-data/m-p/65774#M18379</link>
      <description>I'm curious if anyone has an easy/sharable solution that streamlines creating a collection data WITH Initial Values that are based on [insert data reference]. Whether it be an excel spreadsheet or a collection populated in debug mode.&amp;nbsp; The interest in this is to more easily creating mock data for testing purposes.

I am thinking it could be done by using a code stage to create the underlying XML, but that feels a bit hacky. Is there possibly a better way to approach this?

      <description>I've been doing this by Creating a collection in Blue Prism with some initial values and fields I need and then exporting a process and opening the XML.Â&amp;nbsp;Â&amp;nbsp;Â&amp;nbsp;
You can then use a formula in excel to create the xml items like in the attached screenshot.Â&amp;nbsp; And use the fill down to create each row.Â&amp;nbsp; Then in the XML delete all the  items under the  xml tag and replace it with the generated ones from excel.Â&amp;nbsp; You can then import the process back into Blue Prism and it will have the data you entered.
