Dashboard API LookML formatting issue

[Aliharu]

Hello, i’ve been working on a project that involves taking the lookML from a Dashboard using the /dashboards/lookml/${id} api call and then putting it into a file that i export to a lookML project.

However it looks like the formatting for LookML you get from the API call does not with the lookML validator

For example in the filters list i get this as the name

- name: USERS.ID

and i get this error

“Periods are not allowed in element or filter names.”

It’s like this for all filter names.  Does the API really return invalid lookML?

Found the issue.  If you generate a dashboard from the looker API it allows for filter names to have periods while the LoomML throws an error if you try and use the resulting lookML file
