I am trying to create visualizations in Kibana (version 5.2.0). Each of the visualizations load without error by themselves. However when I put all the visualizations in a dashboard and try to load that dashboard, I get the following error message:

Visualize: [parsing\_exception] Unknown key for a VALUE\_BOOLEAN in [highlightAll]., with { line=1 & col=608 }

I think the problem may have something to do with my dashboard, here is the code for the dashboard:

```auto
[
  {
    "_id": "073a1c40-5128-11e7-afcd-7f99d3f3a7cf",
    "_type": "dashboard",
    "_source": {
      "title": "Sample Traffic Data",
      "hits": 0,
      "description": "",
      "panelsJSON": "[{\"col\":1,\"id\":\"beed0600-50a5-11e7-9b2f-6b73ad1516fc\",\"panelIndex\":1,\"row\":7,\"size_x\":6,\"size_y\":3,\"type\":\"visualization\"},{\"col\":1,\"id\":\"f9520a80-5126-11e7-afcd-7f99d3f3a7cf\",\"panelIndex\":3,\"row\":10,\"size_x\":6,\"size_y\":3,\"type\":\"visualization\"},{\"col\":7,\"id\":\"b909be00-5126-11e7-afcd-7f99d3f3a7cf\",\"panelIndex\":4,\"row\":7,\"size_x\":6,\"size_y\":3,\"type\":\"visualization\"},{\"col\":1,\"id\":\"99a6cf70-5127-11e7-afcd-7f99d3f3a7cf\",\"panelIndex\":5,\"row\":13,\"size_x\":6,\"size_y\":3,\"type\":\"visualization\"},{\"col\":7,\"id\":\"dc304770-5129-11e7-a136-f3d2775519f6\",\"panelIndex\":6,\"row\":10,\"size_x\":6,\"size_y\":3,\"type\":\"visualization\"},{\"col\":1,\"id\":\"a0932b20-5137-11e7-b3a4-51cb043fc72c\",\"panelIndex\":7,\"row\":1,\"size_x\":12,\"size_y\":6,\"type\":\"visualization\"}]",
      "optionsJSON": "{\"darkTheme\":false}",
      "uiStateJSON": "{}",
      "version": 1,
      "timeRestore": false,
      "kibanaSavedObjectMeta": {
        "searchSourceJSON": "{\"filter\":[{\"query\":{\"query_string\":{\"analyze_wildcard\":true,\"query\":\"*\"}}}],\"highlightAll\":true,\"version\":true}"
      }
    }
  }
]

```

Can someone help me resolve this issue? Many thanks.

Indeed the `highlightAll` part seems to be the problem. Which version did you export that data from? Whichever it was, looks like we don't support that syntax in 5.2. If you go into **Management \> Saved Objects** , you should be able to clean up the dashboard source to remove that portion.

E.g. this:  
 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/d/add48894af830bee693950bdff4cb04daae364a5.png)

should instead look like this:

Save the dashboard object and try to reopen, see if that fixes the issue like it did for me when I had that extra data in there!
