I'm getting this error when trying to edit pages in the CMS. I debugged to the fullest of my knowledge using the Network monitor tab in Chrome's DevTools, googling around and what not.

I've seen quite a few other topics that indicate fixes being released in newer versions of TinyMCS, CMS.UI packages. I'm trying to understand what caused this error in my Preproduction environment and NOT in my Integration environment as they have the same versions of the EPiServer packages in tehri respective environment.

Any idea how I can better pinpoint the root cause before blindly trying to update packages and hoping for a fix?

Thanks,

Here's the error:

"Unable to load /episerver/shell/Stores/metadata/EPiServer.Core.ContentData?modelAccessor=%7B%22contentLink%22%3A%227168_55698%22%7D&dojo.preventCache=1551364610868 status: 500"

And the full stack below when opening the page:
