      I just checked out the API page http://server/job/TEST-START/api/?, and clicked on the link in the Similarly, this URL can be used to get and set just the job description. POST form data with a "description" parameter to set the description. section, ie http://server/job/TEST-START/description. As the description is empty (newly created project), i would expect an empty page and not a NPE.

      This is the NullPointerException I got:
