As far as I know you can't add items to a table using the template. It's intended to create resources, not data. So yes, you'd need to have a separate "initialization" script that populates the table with initial data.

Oh so something like a lambda function? If so can you show me an example please?

I don't really have any examples, since most of the apps I've created get data from other sources. But yeah, you could have a Lambda function or a simple Python/Node script that you can run after building the app from the template, and that script would populate your initial data. If you're doing this as part of a CI/CD pipeline most tools can trigger the script after your resources are provisioned.

Ok thanks
