I am trying to overwrite kibana advanced setting config using the following curl command.

`curl -X POST "localhost:5601/api/saved_objects/_resolve_import_errors" -H "kbn-xsrf: true" --form file=@configs.ndjson --form retries='[{"type":"config","id":"adv-setting","overwrite":true}]'`

and I am getting the following error,  
`{"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"child \"retries\" fails because [\"retries\" must be an array]","validation":{"source":"payload","keys":["retries"]}}`

I am using Kibana OSS Build 7.4.2.

Please help me with this issue.
