Getting [/inputs/index_filter]: must NOT have additional properties when I'm trying to save the dashboard below.

                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}
 
I have tried taking out the extra properties, but it just gives me a different error.  This dashboard will be reading a csv file which does exist.  How can I fix this so that the app will run?

Try like this

    "inputs": {
        "index_filter": {
             "type": "input.text",
             "title": "Search Index Name",
             "options": {
                  "token": "index_filter",
                  "defaultValue": ""
             }
        }
    },

Unfortunately adding that gives me:  

[Error: Input is not present in the global inputs structure or layout structure]: Input "index_filter" is defined but not used in either the Global Inputs Structure or in any Layout Structure

 "inputs": {
        "index_filter": {
             "type""input.text",
             "title""Search Index Name",
             "options": {
                "token""index_filter",
                "defaultValue"""
                }

             }
    },

OK so the error message tells you what to do!

    "layout": {
        "globalInputs": [
            "index_filter"
        ],
