Category fields generating JavaScript error in browser console

Problem Statement

Hello!

Looks like simply having a category field generates some JavaScript errors in the browser console. Not sure of the nature of the issue, but very annoying when debugging custom fields or other related problems in the contentlet editor. The number of errors produced is commensurate with the number of category fields.

I was unable to reproduce the error in the editor with any content types that have no category field.

Cheers!

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a content type
2. Add a category field to the content type
3. Create a new contentlet of the new content type
4. Open browser console, see error(s)

Acceptance Criteria

No JS errors produced in the browser console when opening the contentlet editor with one or more category fields.
