null [null] on the field phaseName of form hoursNotYetBilled?

["Dale E. Moore" <Da...@gMail.Com>]

Using "Release-revision : release12.04-1388834" demo data DemoEmployee2
completed their timesheet. Admin went to Billing on that project and got
this error 

org.ofbiz.widget.screen.ScreenRenderException: Error rendering screen
[component://common/widget/CommonScreens.xml#GlobalDecorator]:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Return value from use-when condition
eval was not a Boolean: null [null] on the field phaseName of form
hoursNotYetBilled (Return value from use-when condition eval was not a
Boolean: null [null] on the field phaseName of form hoursNotYetBilled)

at https://localhost:8443/projectmgr/control/projectBilling?projectId=9000

I found specialpurpose/projectmgr/widget/form/ProjectForms.xml contains

<field name="phaseName" position="1" use-when="showPosition1"><display
description="${phaseName}[${phaseId}]"/></field>

and changed it to 

<field name="phaseName" position="1" use-when="showPosition1!=null"><display
description="${phaseName}[${phaseId}]"/></field>

but https://localhost:8443/projectmgr/control/projectBilling?projectId=9000
now gives me

org.ofbiz.widget.screen.ScreenRenderException: Error rendering screen
[component://common/widget/CommonScreens.xml#GlobalDecorator]:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Return value from use-when condition
eval was not a Boolean: null [null] on the field workEffortName of form
hoursNotYetBilled (Return value from use-when condition eval was not a
Boolean: null [null] on the field workEffortName of form hoursNotYetBilled)

It appears to me that I've created a data error and I'm unsure what to do to
correct the error.

Since it's now Monday DemoEmployee2 has a new timesheet and has started
entering hours, but; Admin still gets the same error at Billing.

How can I correct my error and how can I avoid this error in the future?

Hmmm, the thing that I skipped over in this thread was that I went back to
11.04 where I do not experience the bug. Trying 12.04 again experiences the
same issue. I'll enter a https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ.

Thanks to Ruth and Hans those were helpful. I was able to generate invoices
by setting the date correctly in the Project Billing screen.

Hmmm... 10.04 stable does not encounter some of those errors. 

But I'm getting the undocumented "No timeentry items found".

Perhaps http://www.mail-archive.com/user@ofbiz.apache.org/msg25087.html and
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/OFBiz+in+a+service+and+project+oriented+company
will help.

I wonder if I would be better off using some other branch? Perhaps Project
Manager in other branches has fewer bugs? Like
https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/projectmgr (release10.04-1393192) as
DemoEmployee2 gets (org.ofbiz.widget.screen.ScreenRenderException: Error
