Publish Messages without Schema Validation

Hi Team!

In our Kafka platform we have a couple of topics with complex schemas. For testing purposes we would like to publish messages via Lenses to those topics. However, with the complexity of the schemas we find it increasingly hard to create valid messages that pass schema validation. Is there an option to allow publishing any message to a topic with Leses, bypassing schema validation?

Thank you for your question! This capability was added to Lenses 5.5.4.This is a screenshot of the Insert Messages dialog in Lenses 5.5.19, which shows the option to disable schema validation for JSON messages:

Cheers,
Sebastian
