On testability you get the same error but it can be dismissed and the form loads

Specify 7 Crash Report - 2022-09-20T20_33_43.008Z.txt

Here is the exact crash report.

[maxpatiiuk]

Specify 6 probably has special behavior for that field, as it is not a database field.

Sending emails is not a feature supported by Specify 7.

Fixed by making Specify 7 not crash on this error, but rather just disable that field.

You could also remove that field from the form.

Left: testability
Right: v773

It seems this didn't make it into 7.7.3. This is fixed in edge.
