Types Value into the Target field character by character. Prefer fill for ordinary filling.

typestep. - Set Target and Value (INLINE or TEST_ACCOUNT).

Step JSON fragment (copy-paste):
json
{
"action_name": "type",
"target": {
"kind": "PLACEHOLDER",
"value": "Search"
},
"value_text": "login",
"value_source_type": "INLINE"
}Common mistakes
- Do not use type instead of fill without a reason - it is slower and more brittle.
