We currently want to stage records at a large scale( hundreds) to help our QC team with being able to replicate defects that require a large dataset. Currently it takes multiple days to stage these records with that amount of volume. I just wanted to know if anyone knows how to go about being able to stage records at a large scale. Thoughts?

SQL scripts, inject data calling APIs, implement a process that automates data creation
SQL scripts are pretty straight forward but what about processes that creates/updates Appian objects such as groups, constants...etc
Yeah, can be done. Do you have a specific question?
For example, lets say we have a process that creates an Appian group for a record and then places some users in the newly created group. What is a way we can automate that without us using an automation script that kicks off a process which goes through the process to create that group. Mind you this is for producing hundreds of these records.
Not sure what you mean with "automation scripts". You could create a bunch of processes in Appian that create all the required data. Then one master model and expose this using an API. Then call that API from somewhere. Or have a UI with a button to start this.
I am not sure I fully understand what you are looking for.
we also want to create test data and need to follow business logic and utilize existing appian workflows to perform get /insert's. will appian help in reducing the workflow auto populating some information or if needed get new information and call existing process flow.
If the last sentence is your question, the answer is yes.
how - how can i connect multiple flows with one ? this might be very basic question new to appian :)
In general, I suggest to attend the online trainings to get started.
You can use the "Sub Process" node or the "Start Process" node to initiate other models. The first node can be made synchronous or asynchronous, while the second is always asynchronous and does not wait for the child process to complete.
Find more details in the documentation.
