Token replacer not working in email template

0
Hello Community,   I have created an mail template which holds different kinds of placeholders. One of them is a Date and Time attribute for a calendar. Whenever an email is send and that placeholder is not used, the placeholder in the mail is still showing whit it's default name. Example: {%ExpiryDate%} and not just blank space. I have other placeholders that are NOT Date and Time and whenever not used, they are just not showing up in the mail. When not used:   When used:   Stacktrace:   -------- java.lang.NullPointerException: null    at java.base/java.util.Calendar.setTime(Calendar.java:1800)    at

Are you sure the date is filled. Null pointers most of the time mean that something is empty.

So do check if that attribute is filled.
