# Feature request
## Please describe your feature
When adding a route, Dashboard will add an empty expression of `"vars":{}`
by default:

However, only in the APISIX 2.5 version, APISIX will perform schema
verification on the `"vars":{}` expression in the route. If there is
`"vars":{}` in the route, the following error message will be reported:

I see that the community Dashboard 2.6 is ready to be released, which will
be used in conjunction with the APISIX 2.5 version. But I am not sure whether
Dashboard 2.6 will add the empty expression of `"vars":{}` by default when
adding routes. If there is, then it is possible that Dashboard 2.6 and APISIX
2.5 may be used in conjunction with APISIX 2.5, and the above-mentioned
incompatibility may occur .

## Describe the solution you'd like
If Dashboard version 2.6 adds the empty expression of `"vars":{}` by default
when adding routes, then we should remove it.
