Error in FSM Screen

I have been working on creating a new screen ,which i have done multiple times before but this time i am getting an strange error. The Screen is setup as an Search Screen and when i open the creen i get an error

XML element attrs not found. Check the XML and try again.

and when is see the xml query in the search screen it has no attributes

<hierarchy_select max_string_length="256">
  <attrs />
  <primary_table>c_model_team_mapping</primary_table>
  <from>
    <table>c_model_team_mapping</table>
  </from>
</hierarchy_select>

Has anybody seen this before and any guidance on how to fix this.
