    You can do this in many ways. One that I think is neat is to use a Python processor in a Prepare step:

    This is the sample code, modify it according to your needs as you see fit:

    import random
    def process(row):
        my_list = ["test1", "test2", "test3"]
        return random.choice(my_list)
