Will assigning a category to a *team* correct NPE on view of Plan ?

[ Update ]

No, changing category helps none.   However, further observations:

  • Project area owns several plans on same time line, all exhibit NPE
  • No project time line is assigned
  • Team areas have a separate time line, none of their plans exhibit NPE

[ Original Info ]
User reports null pointer exception on viewing a plan.

I checked further and ALL the plans owned by the Project Area exhibit this NPE, while those Plans assigned to a Team Area view ok.
