Spring '17 - java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException error when trying to Edit Page Layouts
Last updated 2022-02-10 ·Reference W-3636285 ·Reported By 93 users
Summary
The layout name no longer appears at the top of the layout in view mode, this is a symptom that might cause a java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException error message when trying to edit them.
This happens when editing Self-Service Portal layouts but might appear in other layouts as well.
Repro
1. Log into a Spring '17 Org with Self-Service Portal enabled.
2. Navigate to Setup | Customize | Self-Service | Self-Service Portal | Settings
3. In the Portal Pages section click "Page Layout" in any of the Pages that allow it.
4. Click Save.
Workaround
If you're affected in Group Edition and using Classic you can disable the "Enable Enhanced Page Layout Editor" in the User Interface settings in order to temporarily workaround the issue.
