Unable to modify SMTP Password in SMTP Mailer

[tariq_89]

Hi,

I'm trying to change the the SMTP Password in my Joomla 5 site (5.2.2), but I'm not able to, the text field has a 'Modify' button that should make it editable, but when I click it nothing happens. I am migrating from a Joomla 4 (4.4.6) site, and I tested it there and it's working. I have root access on both sites.

See attached.

Any solution? and many thanks in advance.

UPDATE:

I see this in the browser console:

Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "getAttribute", s is null

Confirmed. You have found a bug. The password can be modified in Joomla 4.4.9 but not in Joomla 5.2.2. The javascript error I get is

Code: Select all

passwordview.min.js?a335da:4 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'getAttribute')
    at passwordview.min.js?a335da:4:159
    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)

Are you happy to report the issue at Joomla! Issue Tracker - CMS?
