Previously working JAVA Scripts do not work anymore
Does anyone experience the issue of buttons that run JAVA Scripts to create/update records do not work? The buttons were working until August 8th and stopped working since August 9th.

For what its worth,
tldr: I changed the definition of the QuickBase button, unchecking the "open target in a new window", and now the button works for me.
Longer: Chrome version 76.0.3809.100 did change behavior. I didn't understand most of what the change talked about. It did cover issues regarding opening a new window, copying context, and queueing up clicks. Chrome folks said the changed behavior is the correct behavior, and will not be changing it back. For my application, I did not need or want a new window opened. I was surprised to see the checkbox for my button filled in to open a new window. It was worth experimenting to remove the check, and looks like that solved the problem for me.
Good luck all, hope you find solutions that fit your applications.
