Scheme parameters not saving to correct /local/inputs.conf file

[koocies]

Describe the bug
The local/inputs.conf information is not saved to the app that it belongs to. Rather, it saves the information in the app that splunk is currently open to (i.e. the search app). When I saved my configuration in the settings > input datas for my app I found the inputs.conf file was not created under my app. Searched with grep and I found the settings were saved in the splunk/etc/apps/search/local/inputs.conf

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have the random_numbers example app installed and splunklib 2.0.1
2. Login to splunk and open the search app
3. Go to settings > data inputs > "add new" for "Random Number
4. Save settings
5. less $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/local/inputs.conf

Expected behavior
Expected the inputs.conf to be saved in the app that it belongs to.
