**Background:**  
We have environment where jenkins version 2.231 in installed on CentOS 6.8 Azure VM. We want to migrate existing jenkins setup on Ubuntu 22.04 Azure VM.

**What we did so far:**  
-We have implemented new VM with Ubuntu 22.04  
-Installed openjdk version “17.0.12” 2024-07-16  
-Installed Jenkins version 2.462.1 and configured with same folders from CentOS.  
-Updated all plugins  
-Removed deprecated plugins  
Jenkins UI is up & running and all build jobs are visible.

**Issue:**  
-When we are saving any build configuration, it is giving error TypeError: e.getAttribute is not a function (form not submitted)

TypeError: e.getAttribute is not a function
