Error 500 when teamlead adds new activity

[davidus05]

Describe the bug As you know, you can add activities for a team on the left hand menu. These will be shown when you add a new time recording. In general, this feature does work well (as server-admin and admin). But if a teamlead (which has rights to add a new activity for his team, too) wants to add a new one at /admin/activity/create, I get an error 500.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to your Kimai instance
2. Click on Activities
3. Add a new activity with the + icon
4. See the error

[kevinpapst]

Thanks for the report. I found the problem, will be fixed with the next release

[davidus05]

Thanks for confirming the bug. Is there any hotfix (changes in file, ...) available to provide my users this feature until release 1.6 comes out?

[kevinpapst]

You can patch the file manually: https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/pull/1270/files#diff-705f38865aeb9bb1d6c588e0d2ac96ef

[davidus05]

I'm sorry, but none of this fixes solved my problem. :/

[kevinpapst]

Did you clear the cache? https://www.kimai.org/documentation/ftp.html

[davidus05]

Oh sorry, I forgot about that. Clearing the cache fixed this now, many thanks!
