DataSource with Groovy Script - NullPointerException in SoapUI NG

[bvenku1982]

Steps to reproduce:

In a test case create step Data source > select Groovy script and paste the below script.

Add property as ID

Run the script it works fine

Now Close the data source screen by clicking on cross button

reopen the data source and run the script

you will get the java NullPointerException

I hope it will be fixed by soapui NG team

import org.apache.commons.lang.RandomStringUtils

countryCode = "FR"
decisionCode = "SDE"
charset = (('0'..'9')).join()
randomString = RandomStringUtils.random(8, charset.toCharArray())

result["ID"] = countryCode + decisionCode + randomString
