Description

Problem Statement

While attempting to edit a blog in the UVE on the demo site (local instance), it displays this button:

This button does nothing, as far as I can see, and does not raise any console errors when clicked.

There is a console error on page load; not sure if it corresponds to this per se:

ERROR TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'contentDocument')

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the UVE using the Site > Pages tool and an URL-mapped blog, then inspect the Edit Blog button and the reported iframe console error. Done means the button opens editing for the relevant URL-mapped contentlet without the current no-op behavior.
