My Org is currently testing some integrations in the Sandbox and we require actual data that is in production for it. The current way we are working is manually creating the records but this is very tedious and error-prone. I thought about using Salesforce Inspector's data import and export but I believe it breaks with relationships, which our objects have (correct me if I'm wrong).

Is there a better way to transfer records while keeping relations between objects?

Thank you for your time.

Hi Vinie,

The best way is to use Data Loader  and try to load some data for your testing purpose or you can spin up new full copy sandbox and deploy metadata of integration components and do testing in new org.
