Summary:
The Generate Sample Data feature for a Record Type fails. The issue also reproduces with a newly created, minimal Record Type.

Environment: News / Region: Unknown / Appian Version: 25.4

Issue:
In Data Preview → Generate Sample Data, the following message appears:

We encountered an issue and could not generate your sample data.

Click REFRESH ALL DATA in the Additional Configuration panel and try again

What we’ve verified:

  • Database permissions and data sync are normal.
  • Source = Database / Sync = Enabled / Primary Key = Integer (also fails for a newly created Record Type).
  • AI services available: Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Claude Haiku 4.5.
  • The same issue reproduces for multiple users in the same environment.

This looks like an environment level issue. Did you find anything in system logs? If not, better to raise an Appian Support ticket.

Apologies. While I’m able to access the System Logs, I’m not sure how to interpret them. In addition, my account doesn’t have the 
required permissions, so I’m unable to submit a support case.

You should reach our to your teammates in your organisation. Someone with access can raise the request on your behalf.

I suggest to open a support case.
