Dynamic Input Tool - Text Input (or Text Editor)

Problem:

Dynamic Input tool depends on a template file to co-relate the input data before processing it. Mismatch in the schema throws an error, causing a delay in troubleshooting.  

 

Solution:

It would be great if the users got an enhancement in this Tool, wherein they could Input Text or Edit Text without any template file. (Similar to a Text Editor in Macro Input Tool)

This idea would be very useful for me as well. This would prevent me from dealing with a second file besides the workflow. Especially when dealing with Analytic Apps it would be useful to get rid of the template file.
