Cause


Following third party library was added into a Global UI Scripts, probably needed for implementing custom functionalities in service portal.

  • ngTable.js 

Since it is defined as global script, it get executed on load of all the forms in platform and causing the error in browser console.

Resolution


Review the custom custom global UI script, if it is not required, de-activate it.

OR

If it is required, do not make it as "Global", instead try to utilize it only on the portal page where it is needed.
