Recent Chrome Update Possibly Affects Windchill

[BrianToussaint]

This is more of a post letting others know what I encountered today with my Chrome-Windchill connection, but if anyone knows what is going on that would be great to know.  It seems that Chrome recently updated their browser, mine is showing 83.0.4103.97, and I am now having issues with it.  I have cleared all the history out of Chrome and it still has the issue.  The issue has been seen across multiple computers, is that during the creation of a CN, when you go in and edit the task during that creation a blank window pops up with the spinning circle of death.  I am on Windchill 11.2.1.0.  The only error that is in any of the logs is:

2020-06-05 07:51:47,667 ERROR [ajp-nio-127.0.0.1-8015-exec-1] com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.change2.tags.ChangePropagationTag <USERNAME> - action oid was null

I have opened a support call and am waiting to hear back from them.

I don't know if anyone else has seen this yet or not.

we appied CS326191 two weeks ago in prod, after doing so in test. Working perfectly.

We also have applied https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS326191

This "patch" is a very easy workaround to apply. Takes less than 5 minutes to do.

Hello all

I've tested the issue with different versions of chrome.

Windchill 11.1 M020 CPS14

I can say that the issue is not reproducible on the development version of chrome 

Version 86.0.4221.3 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)

Issue still exists in the official released version

Chrome version  84.0.4147.105 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Best Regards

i just tested with Google Chrome Version 85.0.4183.83 (Official Build) (64-bit) and it is working for type and attribute manager. i'm gonna have a few people test this internally to validate other use cases and then communicate how to force update Google Chrome. so happy we're not waiting for October any more 😀
