You can export this solution as unmanaged to another environment, use DataFlow to copy the data from your Prod to the 2nd Env. Then export the solution as managed from 2nd env, delete the unmanaged solution from Prod, and import the managed version there. Create Dataflow again to bring back the data from the other environment to Prod.

We can't use data flows to copy the data from Prod to the test environment, for many-to-many relationships in dataverse tables? Is there a way to do this @suparna-msft?

I also require a solution to copy data from a many-to-many relationship in dataverse tables from a development environment to a production environment.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?
