Issue with Editing Splunk Classic Dashboard containing "mailto" protocol

Hello All,

We’re recently encountering an issue when editing a classic dashboard in Splunk. Whenever we try to edit a dashboard containing a "mailto" protocol, we receive the following error:

Uses scheme: "mailto", but the only acceptable schemes are: {"https", "http"}

However, dashboards without the "mailto" protocol are working fine and we are able to edit them without any issues.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a known solution or workaround to bypass or resolve this issue, allowing us to edit dashboards that include the "mailto" protocol?

would appreciate any guidance or suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @cybersunny ,

where did you inserted the mailto protocol?

it should be easier to help you, if you can share your dashboard code using the "Insert/Edit Code sample" button, not screenshot.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
