Adaptive forms fail to load after upgrading to AEM 6.5.20

Hello,

After upgrading our environment to AEM 6.5.20, we've encountered a critical issue where Adaptive Forms fail to load. Attempting to access any Adaptive Form results in a blank page, and the following error appears in the logs:

org.apache.sling.scripting.sightly.render.ObjectModel Cannot access property 'xyz' on null object
java.lang.NullPointerException: null
    at org.apache.jsp.libs.cq.gui.components.common.table.table_jsp._jspService(table_jsp.java:56)
    ...

This issue is impacting our form-based workflows significantly. Has anyone else experienced this problem after the upgrade? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

it’s recommended to reach out to Adobe Support for the most recent hotfix or apply the suggested workaround from the documentation.
