NullPointerException when adding an attendee to a task in JTX Board

[SrS2225a]

When adding an attendee to a task in JTX Board and then attempting to sync with DAVx⁵, the sync fails with the following error:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int java.lang.String.length()' on a null object reference

Syncing tasks without attendees work fine, and other DAVx5 syncs complete successfully.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a task on the JTX Board.
2. Add an attendee to the task.
3. Trigger a sync via DAVx⁵.
4. The sync fails with a NullPointerException.

Envoriment

DAVx⁵: 4.5.9-ose

JTX Board: 2.15.00.ose

Android: 16 (Samsung SM-S908U)

So does anyone know why this is happening? Or is this for JTX Board instead?

Not reproducible here... but we will have a look

[rfc2822]

It's reproducible when the attendee is not an email address, but a string.

Which format does your attendee have? Can you use an email address?

Hello, I tried it as an email address and that worked fine. Thank you
