      Atlassian Update – 11 Oct 2019

      Hi everyone,

      We apologise for taking that long to revisit this issue. The estimate for resolution provided in the previous status update has been long exceeded. As Atlassian values openness, let us bring clarity to this case and explain how we currently deem the bug.

      The last time we investigated it, we have decided that neither its impact nor the interest it had gathered were sufficient for us to prioritise fixing it. We have now examined it once again and reached the same conclusion. The fact that the impact and interest growth trends have remained steady since the previous evaluation only confirms that we made the right call. This and our current product priorities are the reason why we are once again deciding not to include it in our bug fix plans for the foreseeable future.

      The bug will remain in the "Long term backlog" status. It denotes that while currently it is not as severe nor pervasive as other issues, it is within the cohort of bugs which are the strongest candidates for being included in the bug fix roadmap during future reevaluations of it.

      We understand how disappointing this decision may be, but we hope you will appreciate our transparent approach and communication. To understand how we organise and prioritise bug fix work I encourage you to read Atlassian Server Bug Fix Policy. More importantly, if you would like to find out what the Jira team is currently focused on and has recently delivered see the following dashboards:

      Atlassian will continue to watch this issue for further updates, so please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

      Thank you,
      Pawel Drygas,
      Jira Server Bug Fix Team

      Summary

      When user tries to edit the "User picker* custom field in the issue detail view, javascript error with the following message will be shown:

      Exception: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'scrollTop' of undefined

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Create a customfield with User Picker (multiple users) option.
      2. Associate the customfield to screen used by project.
      3. Edit Issue Detail View of a board where the issues from project above are shown to include the User Picker customfield. (Board -> Configure Board -> Issue Detail View)
      4. Click on the same issue from the backlog and from the issue detail view, try to edit the User Picker customfield.
      5. Add multiple users to the User Picker customfield from issue page (must add at least 2 users. If the field contains 0 or 1 user accounts, this error does not appear).

      Issue can also be replicated by opening full edit screen.

      Environment

      JIRA 7.4.1 +

      Expected Results

      No javascript error is shown when the custom field is edited.

      Actual Results

      Either error will be thrown in the UI (that can be hidden by clicking on the X button):

      • "Exception: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'scrollTop' of undefined"
      • "DetailsException: TypeError: t.responseContainer is undefined"

      Notes

      In some cases, we see the stack trace as:

      DetailsException: TypeError: t.responseContainer is undefined

      Example error:

      Workaround

      Workaround 1

      Users can choose to click on Hide from the Javascript error and still proceed to edit the User Picker customfield.

      Workaround 2

      Another workaround consists in clicking on the user icon located on the right side of the "user picker" field, to open the "User picker" browser page, as shown in the screenshot below. By doing so, no error will be thrown the UI:
