  Use a Different Condition Type:
  
  If text is essential for your business process, consider using a different condition type that supports text entries. You may need to create a custom condition type if none of the standard ones meet your requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to the specific condition type to understand its capabilities and limitations regarding text support.
