Question

Hello, I receive the "object reference not set to an instance of an object" error at the Project Languages selection page every time I try to open a new project based on a previous project in Studio 2017. Anyone know why/what I can do it fix it? It used to work fine!

Hi Damian, 
 This is a known issue that seems to have come in with Cumulative Update 5. SDL is tracking it as CRQ-4359. 
 Till a solution is found, the way to get around it is to create a project template from the existing project (icon on the Home tab in the Projects view), here: 
 
 Then base the new project on that, here: 
 
 Here's where Studio saves project templates by default BTW: 
 
 This will work! 
 All the best, 
 Ali
