Object reference error for all topics - when editing

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 9

For the last few days every attempted change of a Topic results in an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

This error appears for any type of change to a topics (additions, removals, or changes to strings)  - to the best of my knowledge the studio configuration has not changed in any way relevant to Topics.

    Hi @Umianta , thank you for your help on this issue. Since the last I posted the problem has gone away (without any config change) so I'm back to believing it was a platform issue.

    Could you provide me with the topic YAML file or Chatbot solution so that I can troubleshoot the issue for you?

    That did not resolve the issue

    Attempt to turn off and then turn on Topic again to see if it resolves the issue.

    Its not limited to a particular topic - it happens for all of the topics i've tested (approx. 10)

    If you're encountering this error exclusively with this particular topic, it's unlikely to be an issue with the Studio configuration. There may be something a miss with the topic itself. Could you provide the YAML code for this topic? I'd be glad to assist with debugging and pinpointing the problem.
