Is it possible to add 2 random text column (name and nationality) as well to the above workflow ?

These text values should make some sense not like too random, any ideas ?

Hi, it’s possible to generate n random rows in this flow?

 

Lets say that I need 5,000 rows for testing but following the same flow (random values and so)

 

Thanks,
