With the 7/26/26 update, our internal and external partners are unable to tag users in the new comment box. The tag box is just stuck and unclickable. This is interrupting our business. Please fix. Thank you!

Tagging users is not working in Box. Users appear in dropdown menu, but I can’t click on them to actually mention them within the file.

 I'm the admin and today I encounter problems in using  @mentions in Box. When I type @, the list of users appears correctly, but selecting a user does not insert the mention. This occurs on multiple computers, multiple browsers (Chrome and Edge), and across all folders. Other collaborators in the same folders can use @mentions without issue, so the problem appears to be specific to my account and I am the admin of a business account. I appreciate any help!

Hi,
When I use the @mention function in an open document, users do appear but I’m unable to @mention anyone. I tried use another account and different browser but it is still the same. 

Thank you!

I am experiencing the same issue. I contacted support and was informed that it is a malfunction with the Box service and that the engineering team is currently working on a resolution.

I am experiencing the exact same issue.

When I checked the browser developer tools, I found the following error occurring every time I tried to click and select a user from the mention list:

JavaScript

Uncaught (in promise) RangeError: Can not convert <mention, " "> to a Fragment (looks like multiple versions of prosemirror-model were loaded)

Yes, it's not possible to tag people in the comments, and that doesn't make the process any easier. If you could fix this soon, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

Any Updates?

Just to add one more thought on why this issue might affect some users but not others:

One possible explanation is CDN cache propagation. Depending on the user's location or which CDN edge server they are routed to, some users may receive a mix of cached older files and newly deployed files, resulting in a library version mismatch.
