We had a custom workflow that was working until we upgraded to Umbraco Forms 7.4.1. Since then, the custom workflow throws the following error

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]

When the workflow is disabled, the form submits and redirects as expected.

When attempting to debug the issue locally, the error is being thrown before the custom workflow is being hit suggesting there maybe an underlying issue somewhere else.

I can see there there may have been a fix in version 8.5.1 (https://our.umbraco.com/packages/developer-tools/umbraco-forms/) but could the same issue be affecting version 7.4.1.

Any ideas?
