Deleting a custom field that is present in the card layout of a given board makes the board no longer accessible

When we delete a custom field that was added in the card layout of a given board, that board end up inaccessible with the following error:

ERROR:
The field with id 'customfield_10024' is not a NavigableField.

WORKAROUND: Create a copy of the board, as the card layout information is not carried over to the copy, so the message will no longer be displayed.
