They allow you to string together common combinations of template variable values, so if for example you want a "production us-east-2" view of your dashboard, you could have a "production us-east-2" preset that sets your template variables to `environment = production` and `region = us-east-2`. This PR adds support for template variable presets to Boards (aka dashboards, not to be confused with screenboards or timeboards, which are not supported by the API). This will be a necessary step towards adding template variable preset support to the [datadog terraform provider](https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-datadog). Cheers!

Datadog has fixed this strange behavior so this should be good to go. |

What
"Template Variable Presets" aka "Saved Views" are a quick shortcut that
can be added by hand or via json to dashboards in datadog, and appear in
the top left corner.
They allow you to string together common combinations of template
variable values, so if for example you want a "production us-east-2"
view of your dashboard, you could have a "production us-east-2" preset
that sets your template variables to
environment = productionandregion = us-east-2.This PR adds support for template variable presets to Boards (aka
dashboards, not to be confused with screenboards or timeboards, which
are not supported by the API). This will be a necessary step towards
adding template variable preset support to the datadog terraform
provider.
