writeBean() NullPointerException when trying to save object from form

Flow
21

for the grid you can not do setItems( emptyListHere)?

22

Empty is fine but calling it with null is not allowed

23

but doesnt the if statement before it if(ticket=null) catch null

24

sorry im so confused

25

is this the area of code you are talking about

  private void populateAssignedEmployeeGrid(Ticket ticket) {
        // no ticket = close grid. Ticket exists, display grid
        if (ticket == null) {
            closeAssignedEmployeeGrid();
        } else {
            ticketForm.setTicket(ticket);
            assignedEmployees.setItems(ticket.getEmployees());
            assignedEmployees.setVisible(true);
        }
    }```
26

You aren’t passing tickets to the grid, you are passing the employees of the ticket to it

27

And the default employee list of a “new Ticket” is probably null

28

OMG :woman_facepalming: you were right

29

i made a new button “Add New Ticket” with a click listener that calls AddTicket() in my view file

private void addTicket() {
        tickets.asSingleSelect().clear();
        populateAssignedEmployeeGrid(new Ticket());
    }```
30

now I can pass in the “new Ticket()” call you were talking about
