In Global Configuration the button to change the password for an SMTP account does not work anymore.

Issue: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/issues/44553

Versions affected

General Information

This pertains only to Joomla! version: 5.2.2

What is the cause

The issue is caused by a JavaScript error. The browser console displays the error:

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

How to fix

This issue will be corrected in Joomla 5.2.3 with this PR: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/44555

In the meantime you can manually change the email settings directly in the configuration.php file.
