Raw or Plain Text is the simplest text data type you can use in your test case. Use the NLP that has test data in it.

For example, ‘Enter test data in element field’ is a NLP. Here, you can erase the test data placeholder and choose Plain Text from the dropdown to type anything you want as the input to your test.
