Could you please elaborate what do you mean by this? If possible please share a screenshot

There is no XML character in any of the actions for me but still receiving this error.

Any luck on this? We are having the same issue. Xanadu patch 7. This is on multiple flows that have not been changed since we upgraded. 

There is a Problem record for this but its not published yet so SN knows there is an issue. A work around is to copy the flow which is not ideal. Just from what I gather it is an issue with the v1 to v2 conversion. Hopefully they publish it with a fix soon.
