NOTE:

You can create your own Data Generator and customise the actions according to your preference. For more information on creating test data generators using addons, refer to the documentation on creating test data generators using addons
For some Data Generators, Regex is used to find a sequence of characters that specifies a search pattern in the text; if you're unfamiliar, refer to the documentation on regex guide - MDN docs.
