Sync Record Data from another environment

Question

Hello, 
 Let's say I'd like to sync a specific Record Type data from Production environment to a lower environment. Is it achievable?

I normally don't advise copying data from production into lower environments unless you obfuscate the data to make it unrecognizable. If it's a specific table that you're looking for, I would assume that it could be reference data in which I case it would be OK. 
 If you were to do it, you would simply need export your data via the DB console, insert it into your table and run a full sync on the Record in your lower environment.

The synced data in Appian is just a copy and not the real source. The source is either a database or an integrated system. You will have to copy the data in the real source and then trigger a manual sync.

No good idea. Dev is for development. Operations support is part of the production environment. 
 I see two options. 
 1) Build a dedicated support site in your application showing whatever you need. But do this on PROD. 
 2) In case we are talking about Appian Ops, send process alerts to the inbox of your IT ticket system and manage incidents there.
