Hey!

Could you share the permissions for the file opensearch_dashboards.yml?

I figured out the problem. I just needed to move my project from my virtual box shared folders. I originally had my open search project in this shared folder, which is shared between my Linux VM and Windows machine. I moved it to another location in my Linux box. In my case I moved it to the ~/Desktop folder. After doing this I could then add my custom opensearch_dashboards.yml file successfully.
