Hi Nick,

Yes, it always shows up when accessing a board. That's the only way to reproduce the error.
Please see the screenshot for the console in Chrome. let me know if you need more information.
I don't recall any changes to our JIRA server last year except that we upgrade our JIRA version every now and then.
I remember I used to have that Grammarly extension installed but I removed that last year along with few other extension. Current I have the extensions that are listen in the screenshot attached.

Thanks,

Shahriar

I suggest you disable all Chrome extensions and test again. Then reenable one by one. AdBlock caused me problems a few weeks ago, so I whitelisted my domain to fix that

Matt,

Thank you for your suggestion. You are right! Looks like the "Honey" extension was the culprit! I disabled that one and re-opened the Chrome, the error is gone.

I still think that there are other Chrome extensions that are causing this error to other users because I don't remember installing the "Honey" extension last year when the error showed up.

Anyway, this fixed the issue for me. Thank you so much for your help, Matt!
