Once we upgraded to Jenkins ver. 1.500 the option to create a job from existing job stopped working.

The new job gets created but the content from the original job is never copied. Basically the whole option is useless like this.

Whenever I try to use it I get:

Status Code: 500

Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
Stacktrace:
javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.NullPointerException
