    Help with Bulk Import Error: NullPointerException on CollectionProtocol

    Hi everyone,

    I’m running into an issue when trying to perform a bulk import in OpenSpecimen. The error I’m seeing is:

    Error: NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com.krishagni.catissueplus.core.biospecimen.domain.CollectionProtocol.getId()" because the return value of "com.krishagni.catissueplus.core.biospecimen.domain.CollectionProtocolRegistration.getCollectionProtocol()" is null
    

    From what I understand, it seems like the import is trying to reference a collection protocol that isn’t being correctly associated with the participant or registration. I’ve double-checked that the CP names in my import file match the ones in the system, but the error persists and not sure how to fix it.
