APEX 24.2 modal page call problem after upgrade

InoLMar 20 2025 — edited Mar 20 2025

We are in the process of upgrading from 23.2 to 24.2. In 24.1 the method to call a modal page was changed. This now raises an error:

SyntaxError: Private field '#action$a' must be declared in an enclosing class

The button was:

<button onclick="javascript:apex.navigation.dialog('f?p=250:15….etc.

The upgrade modified this to

<button onclick="#action$a-dialog-open?url=f%3Fp%3D250%3A15%3A….etc.

What does that error mean? Do I have to change something in all our apps, or is this an upgrade error?

Note: this does work for links as URL:

<a href="#action$a-dialog-open?url=f%3Fp%3D255%3A66%3A457… etc.

Note 2: I know that the release notes say:

An example of custom code that no longer works is a button with an onclick

but the upgraded app did generate the changed code for onclick. So, does it generate code that intentionally doesn't work?
