Hi

After upgrading from 1.4.10.2 to v2.20

When running the following code;

MyData.Entry(entity).Collection(“ChildCmContacts”).Load();

where entity is a CmContact entity and ChildCmContacts is an ICollection<CmContact> I get a NullReferenceException

A global filter is declared in the OnModelCreating procedure of the DBContext modelBuilder.Filter(“DeletedFilter”, (IBaseObject d) =>d.Deleted, false);

This code works in 1.4.10.2

Listed Below ; Callstack, exception and entity model;

Exception System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code HResult=-2147467261 Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
