Atlassian Macro Library throwing an error on Macro opening in Confluence

March 3, 2026

When trying to open our macro that uses a modal for configuration, we see an unknown error from Atlassian macro library:

com.atlassian.plugins.atlassian-connect-plugin:confluence-macro-v5.js?assetVersion=1000.0.0-7b3b4190df0119827&externals=__local-default__:10 Uncaught (in promise) TypeErrorCannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getEditor')

   at opener (com.atlassian.plugins.atlassian-connect-plugin:macro-editor-resources-v5.js?assetVersion=1000.0.0-7b3b4190df0119827&externals=__local-default__:20:430)

We’re seeing the exact same issue on our Confluence Connect app macros.

Error in browser console:
`TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getEditor')`
from Confluence `batch.js` when opening macro editor (`openCustomEditor`).

What we observed
1. Happens when opening custom Connect macro editor from Macro Browser.
2. Reproducible on pages with multiple app macros (also seen on fresh pages in some tenants/users).
3. We tested descriptor-side changes (conditions, editor URL simplification, context placeholders) and still hit the same error.
4. This points to a Confluence-side regression in Macro Library/editor integration, not macro business logic.

What we already tried
1. Removed restrictive macro conditions.
2. Simplified `editor.url` (removed dynamic placeholders).
3. Reinstalled app / refreshed descriptor.
4. Hard refresh + incognito + extension-off tests.
5. Tested with multiple users.

No reliable workaround so far.

Could Atlassian please confirm if this is a known incident/regression and share ETA/workaround?

Hi,

I am Lauma from eazyBI team. We noticed the same issue on one of our test sites earlier today, but Atlassian promptly resolved it.

I cannot confirm if the resolution was site-specific, so if the issue persists, I recommend contacting Atlassian Support directly. You're also welcome to copy support@eazybi.com if you need any additional assistance from our side.

Hope it gets resolved for you soon!

Hello @tamer 

Are you talking about some specific macro (or app), or is it about a general modal window, that called "Macro Browser":

Can you please provide an expected result?

Hi Roman, the same issue started happening for me today (4th March). In my case it is about the eazyBI plugin ("eazyBI for Jira report"). It just won't open, doesn't do anything.

Had been working without any problems until today (was working still fine yesterday 3rd March).

PS. This is however working OK for my colleagues, I seem to be the only one struggling with this. I have already rebooted my laptop and tried Chrome and Edge

Wow!
I have to admit that you faced quite an interesting issue.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to help you with the solution. However, I can share my assumptions that might help with further actions.

1. It's a Confluence issue (not an app-related one). Based on the error message.
2. Account-level problem (not cookies or other browser cache). As only you faced it, and changing the browser doesn't help.

You may create a ticket to Atlassian (which is always good and mostly helpless).

Also, you may proceed with investigations on your own.
I would recommend that you:

  • Check permissions of any kind
  • Compare account settings with your colleagues
  • Look into your user properties

I wish you to solve it, and looking forward to the happy end of the story.

Regards,
Roman from Wombats Corp

Thanks @Roma Bubyakin _Wombats Corp_ ,

Well, today looks much better and everything is working without any errors! I did not do any actions in order to "fix" it.

For Chrome I actually did clear the browser cache this morning (due to another reason) but for Edge I did not do anything and it works on both browsers so I don't even think it was related to the browser cache. Maybe yesterday was just not my day or Atlassian had indeed done some small fix in the background as suggested by @Lauma Cīrule .

Have a good day, all!
