Custom visual text input box

I am making a custom visual.  I will need to have a input text box in the properties like the one you see in the Title, see screenshot.

The following apparently won't work when I put this into capabilities.json

"inputText": {
          "displayName": "Text To Show",
          "type": { "string": true }        
        },

Could someone help Please?

Please use text instead of string.

 

"inputText": {
    "displayName": "Text To Show",
    "type": {
        "text": true
    }
}
