(note: this feature does not work in Firefox due to a pending bug with privileges, and will be introduced as soon as the bug is fixed).
You can select the way bug magnet handles actions, to simulate different user workflows or manage custom components:
- Inject value: set the value directly into the field using JavaScript. This replaces the entire content of a field directly, and it is useful when you want to guarantee that there is nothing else in the input field.
