Possible bug with changing permission on source based field extraction

Hello,

I just ran into the issue that I couldn't change the permission of a source based field extraction via GUI on 7.3.1.

This only happens for source based field extrations, sourcetype ones are not affected.

Clicking on the "Permissions" Link in Sharing results in an error like this:

Splunk could not retrieve permissions for resource data/props/extractions [HTTP 404] https://127.0.0.1:8089/servicesNS/kainiels/search/data/props/extractions/source%253A%253A%252Fvar%25...; [{'type': 'ERROR', 'text': 'Could not find object id=source%3A%3A/var/log/bar : EXTRACT-foo', 'code': None}]

Can someone confirm that issue, or is our installation maybe broken somehow? I didn't see this mentioned in the release notes of later versions...

Is there a workaround for this?

I can confirm, that this only happens for source based field extractions. Ones with sourcetype-based searches are not affected.

I have the same problem with 8.0.1. Would be interested to know if there is a solution.

I have the same problem with version 7.2.9.1. It appears to me that this error occurs for any field extraction that contains a forward slash /. Did happen to get any confirmation this is a bug?
