Troubleshooting: Workflow was not saved Unknown Error XmlException

When trying to save a workflow to Gallery, the below error is observed:

Workflow was not saved
Unknown Error XMLException RequestID...

Chained_App_Error (1).PNG

Environment

  • Alteryx Designer

Diagnosis

  • Does the file name of the workflow contains an URL restricted character (i.e. an ampersand "&")? If so, see Solution A.
  • Does an Interface tool contain a URL restrictedcharacter in it's message section?(i.e. an ampersand "&")? If so, see Solution B.

Solution A

Delete the URL restricted character in the file name and re-upload the workflow. Please note that as a best practice no special characters should be used in workflow file names.

Solution B

Delete the URL restricted character in the message section of the Interface tool in the workflow and re-upload the workflow.
