Cannot change quality profile of a project

Must-share information (formatted with Markdown):

  • Running Community Build v26.4.0.121862
  • how is SonarQube deployed: Docker, Helm
  • I’m trying to change the quality profile of a project
  • I’ve tried to press the buttons but they don’t work as expected

The buttons to change profile for a project don’t work. They only allow me to either empty the input field of changing a profile and if I try to add a new profile to a project for a specific language the dropdown menu is behind the modal and I still cannot add the profile I have set up.

Hi,

Are there any errors in your browser console? Do you have admin rights on the project? I assume you do since you can get to the dialog, but it’s worth checking.

And can you assign the project from the Quality Profile itself?

 
Thx,
Ann

Hello SonarSource Team,

We are experiencing the same issue with this version of SonarQube Community Edition.

Despite having administrator rights on both the project and the SonarQube instance, we are unable to change the default associated Quality Profile.

We are also facing similar issue where it is impossible to select a project for wich we would like to receive notifications in the user settings.

I suspect there may be a more general bug affecting form rendering/display.

Do you plan to fix this in future releases? Thank you for your work :slight_smile:

Have a nice day.

Hi @Usinelogicielle,

Thanks for jumping in here with your screenshots and additional details. They’ve helped me connect the dots to an internal discussion. And I suspect you’re right about a broader problem.

What browser (flavor & version) are you in?

 
Thx,
Ann

Hello @ganncamp,

I tried differents browsers, but the result is identical on all of them.

Here are the browsers and versions I tested :

  • Google Chrome 147.0.7727.102
  • Firefox 148.0.2
  • Microsoft Edge 146.0.3856.109

Unfortunately, I cannot change the browser versions, as updates are managed and installed by my company’s IT service.

Have a nice day :slight_smile:

Hi Usine,

Thanks for the browser details! I’ve flagged this for the team & it’s being investigated.

Hello @Ulqur and @Usinelogicielle , a fix for this has been merged today. It should be available in the upcoming SQCB release.

Hi @David Cho-Lerat

I still have the same issue in Community v26.6.0.123539.
I have opened a forum topic about this before finding this discussion.

This version has just been released a few days ago so I assume your fix should have been merged already. Unfortunately, the release notes are not yet published on the github page so I cannot check.

Hi @magyarimiki , I have just checked this: the fix was merged after build 2026.3.0.52063 of the web app, which was the one included in Community v26.6.0.123539, so it stands to reason that you’re still seeing it there.

The fix was made on May 18 and the release of v26.6 on June 3, but unfortunately we’ve used the web app build from May 12 for the release - that’s something we’ve missed.

Community v26.7 is planned for July 6 for now, and will include the fix. Sorry about that.

hi,

I confirm it is fixed in Community 26.7

Thanks!
Miki

Hey everyone,

We just updated to : Sonarqube Community Build v26.7.0.124771 Standard Experience and we do not confirm the fix on our side.

We still have the issue for :

  • My account → Notifications → Add a project. The scroll menu still appear behind the popup window

  • And also it seems there is some progress on the quality profile, if we add a new language’s quality profile to an existing project the menu behavior is fixed. But if you want to change the quality profile for an existing language in your project (the pen logo under ‘actions’ column : the scroll menu is still appearing behind)

Best regards,

UL

Hello @Usinelogicielle, I’ve just spun up a fresh Sonarqube Community Build v26.7.0.124771 Standard Experience instance using the official Docker image, and do not reproduce your issue.

The new modal should look different, if it has the same look-and-feel as before v26.7 for you then I suspect you’re still actually using pre-26.7 code. Could you please share screenshots?

Here’s the quality profile update:

As you can see on the screenshots, we have the correct version but with the same issue as before.

Your screenshots show the v26.6 (and prior) modals: if you compare the “Change Quality Profile” modal I shared with the one you shared, mine shows more whitespace between “Always use [..] default” and “Always use [..] specific”. Yours is the previous version, the spacing and the issue you’re reporting were changed at the same time.

So I suspect you’re still seeing a cached version of the previous code. Try an “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”

Thanks for your help.

We found that the issue was indeed caused by a misconfiguration on our side. We were still mounting some custom HTML pages that came from an older version, which caused the problem.

After updating our configuration, everything is working as expected.

Thanks again for your assistance!

Hello. When will this fix be released for the Developer Edition? We are experiencing the same issue after upgrading to the latest release 2026.3.

Hi @cloze80,

Welcome to the community!

I expect 2026.4 to land this week. The fix, linked earlier in the thread was merged just after the release of 2026.3, so it should be included.

 
HTH,
