Spell check- Project/Status Reports

[diane_gregory]

We are currently on Helsinki and I have read in articles that spell check was discontinued in ServiceNow due to the critical flaws and is dependent on your browser. My developer is currently ooo and I am trying to figure out why spell check is not working for Project/Status Reports/Comments field which we just went live with yesterday. It is this way using IE11 and Chrome. Spell check is working fine on Incident description, short descriptions, work notes, additional comments, RITM text fields but not this. Any thoughts?

Non of the current tables in our instance gets me to Project- Status report. I added a new table of Project and I do not have the ck box for spell check. I have added the recommended role.

Actually it looks like we are on UI 15 & UI16 so that's obviously the issue.

Thanks
