This was generated from:

{
  "Header": "Title",
  "Entries": [
    {
      "VariableName": "NAME",
      "Question": "What's your name?",
      "CanBeNull": false,
      "AcceptableAnswers": [],
      "Type":"string",
      "Placeholder": "Enter name"
    },
    {
      "VariableName": "PASS",
      "Question": "What's your password?",
      "CanBeNull": false,
      "AcceptableAnswers": [],
      "Type":"password",
      "Placeholder": "Enter pass"
    },
    {
      "VariableName": "COOL",
      "Question": "Are you cool?",
      "CanBeNull": false,
      "Type":"string",
      "AcceptableAnswers": ["Y", "N"],
      "Placeholder": "Choose Yes or No"
    },
    {
      "VariableName": "FILE",
      "Question": "Filename:",
      "CanBeNull": false,
      "Type":"string",
      "AcceptableAnswers": ["json"],
      "Placeholder": "FILEPICKER"
    }
  ],
  "SubmitButtonText": "Create",
