java.lang.NullPointerException when trying to add project to custom field.

When I try to modify the configuration in a custom field, under the catagory "Choose applicable context", I modify the list of projects and then save with the "Modify" button. I get a fatal "java.lang.NullPointerException" error.

I have attached the atlassian‑ jira.log file.

I have cut and pasted the error here:

Cause:
java.lang.NullPointerException
