Cause

• The cause of the issue is an extra parameter appended to the URL (&odf_cncrt_parent_id=5000000). 
• Error Environment URL: 
  
  • https://servername/niku/nu#action:odf.cop_prj_statusrptProperties&parent_odf_view=projectCreate.subObjList.cop_prj_statusrpt&odf_code=cop_prj_statusrpt&odf_pk=5097839&grandparent_odf_view&id=5097839&ui.page.space=mainnav.work&odf_concrete_parent_object_code=project&odf_cncrt_parent_id=5096649 
• Working Environment URL: 
  
  • https://servername/niku/nu#action:odf.cop_prj_statusrptProperties&parent_odf_view=projectCreate.subObjList.cop_prj_statusrpt&odf_code=cop_prj_statusrpt&odf_pk=5037061&grandparent_odf_view&id=5037061&ui.page.space=mainnav.work&odf_concrete_parent_object_code=project 
• As you can see in the above URLs, &odf_cncrt_parent_id=5096649 has been appended which is causing the issue. Remove that part of the URL and the page loads fine.
