What is this Splunk dashboard javascript error?

[rashaikh]

We have a custom dashboard and whenever we load it I'm getting this error " A custom Javascript error caused an issue loading your dashboard, like due to the dashboard version update. See the developer console for more details" We are running Splunk 8.2.5. Has something changed? this was working previously? any idea how I can resolve this ?

Came here because we're seeing the same issue in the Lookup Editor app after upgrading to 9.1.1. Users have no way to access their lookups as of now and we really don't want to roll anything back if we don't have to..

@splunk we would really appreciate an answer here..

I solved the problem by updating the lookup editor app to last version (4.0.2) and editing the view as explained by tomapatan

Hi @MattHatter 

Did you find a solution to this ?

We had exactly the same problem and we managed to get is resolved by editing the lookup_edit file (under Settings - User Interface - Views) as follows:

<view template="lookup_editor:/templates/generic.html" type="html" isDashboard="true" isVisible="true">
  <label> Lookup edit </label>
</view>

Thanks for answering. What do you mean by " editing the lookup_edit file "? I am in  "Settings - User Interface - Views" but don't see any way to edit any file or where to alter the text you refer to. Where is this file I should edit?

[tomapatan]

Make sure you are in the lookup editor app context.

If you`re using Splunk Cloud:

Thanks. I am on Splunk Enterprise on a local server. Do you know where the file you reference is and its name?

[tomapatan]

Hi,

The filename is called "lookup_edit" and you can navigate to it using the UI: Settings - User Interface - Views.

hi,

Apart from adding "version=1.1" in source code, Can someone help summarize what has to be done for fixing below error- 

"A custom JavaScript error caused an issue loading your dashboard, likely due to the dashboard version update. See the developer console for more details."

Facing the same issue in splunk security essentials

I'm also getting the same error, do you have any solutions yet?

[AnilPujar]

it got fixed for me after using the right version app, updating my custom javascript also use version="1.1" in the first line
<dashboard version="1.1" >
OR
<form version="1.1">

to remove version change notice

Hi @AnilPujar, could you please tell what changes you did in JS?

Hello,

We are also having issues , when trying to update the application "Splunk Dashboard Examples" from version 8.1.0 to 8.2.5. On the Overview page it gives the error: "A custom JavaScript error caused an issue loading your dashboard. See the developer console for more details."

Curently running Splunk 8.2.6.1

Anyone any ideea? Could this influence the day to day business in the future if upgrading the app?

Thank you!

<form version="1.1">   maybe the script needs to be in the form line ?
