I have a D365 App that I need to deploy via AppSource.
I have an AppSource Visual Studio Project.
I am currently at the step “Create an App Source Package for your software” as detailed here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/data-platform/create-package-app-appsource
I have the package and it deploys without error using the Package Deployment Tool.
However, at the end of the deployment, several workflows do not start because they are dependent on DATA being present in the global option sets that get installed as part of deployment package.
I need to understand how I can populate data into the global option sets as part of the deployment process.
In Exhibit 1A below, which shows the ImportConfig.xml file in the deployment package, there are a series of pre-requisite solution files that get installed during the deployment process.
The 13th solution contains only the option sets.
The 14th solution (final solution) contains the rest of the application including the workflows that are dependent on the values existing in the option sets installed above.
My questions are:
- How exactly can I insert data into these option sets so that they contain all the values required after the 13th solution is installed and BEFORE installing the 14th solution to ensure the data is present?
- Can this all be done in the ImportConfig.xml file?
- If yes, what specifically must I change in the ImportConfig.xml file in Exhibit 1A below?
- If I need to do something in the PackageTemplate.cs file, what exactly must I do and where must I do it?
It would be great if someone could provide some code to help get me started.
I have provided a copy of my PackageTemplate.cs file in Exhibit 2A below.

Any help, including some code to get me started would be greatly appreciated as I am diving into brand new territory here.
