Error parsing dashboard XML: malformed URI sequence.

Updated Splunk 6.5.x to 7.3.0 and now one of my main dashboards has, "Error parsing dashboard XML: malformed URI sequence. Go to "Edit Source" to fix."

Going into "Edit source", it states "Error on line -1: malformed URI sequence"

First few lines of XML:
``

> `<form>   <label>Overview -
> v2.4</label>   <fieldset
> submitButton="false"
>             autoRun="true">
>     <input type="time"
>            searchWhenChanged="true">
>

Greetings @ShaunBaker,

Indeed it looks messed up to me. It should look like this:

<form>
  <label>Overview - v2.4</label>
    <fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
      <input type="time" searchWhenChanged="true">  
...
Cheers,
Jacob

Still Errors when formatted as above. This was a working dashboard before the 7.3 upgrade.

If it was working before the upgrade, and it now looks like as you posted, I would try just restoring that single dashboard XML from a backup and go from there.

Cheers,
Jacob
