HR probably has a field they are required to populate. If you know what your salary expectation is, and HR is forcing your hand, you can just say it. Add 20% if you want. It's just a number.
I've had many interviews end early because they cannot meet my salary expectations. It's good for both sides because you dont want to waste eachothers time in rounds interviews just to find out they can't pay what you're asking.

My total comp is "what the job is worth to me." Easy commute, remote work, <40 hours a week typically, good culture, etc. Those can all have a subjective value tacked on to them at my discretion if they want to know my current comp / what it would take for me to hop ship.
Recruiters are usually idiots. just walk the dog, give them what they require to get you in front of the hiring manager, and don't think twice about the game you have to play.
