When trying to schedule a PDF delivery for a dashboard, the error message Parameter "name" must be 100 characters or less is displayed. The dashboard runs fine, export PDF has no issues. Where do I find this "name" parameter?

Hello @landzaat could you provide screenshot of whole screen showing this error? Thanks.

For your information schedule PDF delivery may create ScheduledView like this and maybe there is limit in name size :

A hint from a colleague put me on track to look into the dashboard's source. It seemed that in a line where an option was set, a hidden character has crept in. I deleted the line, re-entered the text and this solved te problem.
