Description

I tried to enable DNS Query Forwarding and I have a custom option.
unbound-checkconf fails pointing to the custom option

config segment:

# Forwarding
forward-zone:
        name: "." 
        forward-tls-upstream: yes
        forward-addr: 8.8.8.8@853
        forward-addr: 8.8.4.4@853

# Unbound custom options
log-servfail: yes

If I manually edit the file to move custom option before "forward-zone" section, file is validated as expected.
If I comment out custom option, everything is fine too.

Looks like this can be "fixed" by prepending "server:" before the list of custom options.
This wasn't obvious from the UI, if that's the right fix, maybe there should be a text prompt mentioning how to use this?

It's a known and well documented case. Given the wide variety of what users may want to do with custom options, the UI can't make assumptions about its contents.
