I am getting the error message "Exception Uncaught TypeError:cannot read property 'scrollheight' of undefined" when I add an Epic.

Thanks @Martin Orzaiz (Atlassian)! This is exactly what one of my developers ran into i'll keep an eye on the issue for when it gets fixed.

I also facing this error in one of our Jira Projects in Backlog screen.

Workaround:
Move to other screens like Active Sprints, then create the issue/Epic, it works.

Hi @Naveen Jacob , Welcome to the community.

Please try Enable Safe mode and let us know if still, the problem persists. This is to make sure the error is not caused by any third party installed plugins.

BTW what is the Jira version.

Thanks,
Ram.

[Enrique Ruiz-Velasco]

I'm having this exact issue. Is there a fix for this?

I'm running JIRA version 8.1.0 on Ubuntu. 

[Jimmy Seddon]

Hi @Enrique Ruiz-Velasco ,

If you look at the first answer by @Martin Orzaiz (Atlassian) there is an open bug for this which you should watch and vote for. 

One of our developers found that to work around this issue just make sure you aren't creating epics from the backlog view of the sprint board and it should work fine.

Hope that helps!
