Selector

Manifest path: $.models[*].attributes[*].value

Dore allows you to define a list of values from which a value is selected for an attribute during record generation.

Consider an example where you have an attribute representing the size of a T-shirt and you wanted the value of this attribute to be one of the following values: "S", "M", "L" picked at random for each record. You can use the Random Selector for this. If, for example, you wanted the T-shirt size value to be picked from the list in a round robin fashion for each record, you can use the Round Robin Selector
