Mock dummy data in virtual object

Hi



We have a use case whereby the data we need to show in a detail needs to be fetched from a 3rd party API. We intend to do the following steps for this - 

1. Create a virtual object (Transient data. Not to be persisted in the database)

2. Call the the 3rd party API and populate the virtual object with the returned data.

3. Bind the virtual object to the Detail. 



The API is still under construction and we would like to mock / populate / hard code dummy data in the virtual object so that we can proceed with developing the detail. Let me know if there is a way to do this. 



Thanks
