Can we use a CSV file instead of a Yaml file containing details of the instances we want to populate in a view using CDF toolkit? If yes, is there a limit to it?
Edit: What I mean to ask is whether we can use a csv file directly to populate a view in a data model, i.e. without using raw and transformations? Just like we can use a node.yaml file to directly deploy an instance in a view.

You enable it in the `cdf.toml` with the following

populate=trueThe command is `cdf populate view`.
We have some of our instance data in csv files, and it works well. Our files are structured like this;
| key | name | description | aliases | source | ... |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| external id 1 | name 1 | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| external id 2 | name 2 | ... | ... | ... | ... |
The files are deployed to raw via cognite toolkit and then instances are populated with transformations/workflows.
None of our CSV-files are very large though. I think the largest ones are approximately 300 rows.

Thanks for the information. Have you also tried using the csv directly to populate a view just like we can with a node.yaml file?
