Symptoms

An exception occurred
Please try refreshing the page, or contact your administrator / Atlassian Support if the problem continues
Details
- Exception: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'hasClass' of undefined
- Resource :
Cause
The error is caused by a third-party plugin that is not compatible with the current version of JIRA.
This was replicated with the Database Custom Field v.2.1.2 plugin.
Workaround
As we do not have a comprehensive list of all plugins that can cause this problem, the plugin will need to be identified through isolation testing. This can be done with the following steps.
- First, attempt to upgrade all your plugins and then see if the problem is still persistent - it may be a plugin developer has corrected the incompatibility.
- If the problem is still present, disable all plugins through the UPM except for JIRA Agile, as in Disabling a JIRA Plugin.
- Enable each plugin one-by-one, whilst monitoring the logs for the error message and also checking JIRA Agile for any browser errors that may have been present.
- When you find the problematic plugin, please keep it disabled and forward the problem to its vendor, whose details can be found on the Atlassian Marketplace.
