As mentioned in the subject, help me with the keyboard shortcut to format html and xml code in dashboard source code editor.

For example, I want below code to be formatted to the code as shown in "To" section:

<dashboard version="1.1">
<label>Test Dashboard</label>
<row>
<panel>
<html>
<h1>
<b>Some bold text</b>
</h1>
</html>
</panel>
</row>
</dashboard>

 

To:

<dashboard version="1.1">
	<label>Test Dashboard</label>
	<row>
		<panel>
			<html>
				<h1>
					<b>Some bold text</b>
				</h1>
			</html>
		</panel>
	</row>
</dashboard>

 

I tried using Ctrl+Shift+F but it is only formatting the XML code in the dashboard source code editor and html code in the dashboard source code editor is not getting formatted and remaining as is.

Hi

I don't know if there is any key combinations for this on Splunk's own edit.

But you can copy this xml file into e.g. Visual Studio Code and format it there. That also gives you to possibility to store it into git or other version control system.
