REST API Explorer - PCDATA invalid Char Value Error

[John Longhitano]

When I pull a set of records using the REST API Explorer everything works great until I add the short description field to be pulled.

I get the below error

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 592 at column 27655:

PCDATA invalid Char value 11 Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

Is it possible that there are invalid characters in the short description of the record(s) that cause the XML to error?

Has anyone seen this before?

I'm pulling about 10k records on the Change Task table and the pull works fine without the short description.

Thanks,

John

If possible, download the xml file locally and open the local file to find the character that's causing the problem.
