JSON Path Input Dialog Closes when validation failed

[kmerz]

Expected Behavior

If a validation of a form to create a JSON Path Input fails, it should remain open so a user can correct the mistake

Current Behavior

The validation happens on the server side after the modal is closed. The error message is not helpful, and the user must start guessing the actual problem.

Possible Solution

Validate the JSON Path parameter on the frontend side to prevent closing the modal.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Go to the Inputs Page
2. Open the JSON Path Input, creating a modal
3. Add a name for the input
4. for JSON path of data to extract fill out $.
5. Try to save the Input
