Rule was using old payment information as base object and no null check on the field was being performed. In the rule base object dropdown selection two Payment information shows. Second one is payementInformationV3.

1. To correct this issue, recreate a new rule or modify the existing rule to be based on 2nd Payment Information object appearing in Base Object Dropdown.

2. To make sure you are selecting the correct base object use it's externalCode for example in this case search with PaymentInformationV3

3. In the rule logic where your requirement is to set values / copy values from other fields make sure that you check that the source field has a value.

You can do this by comparing source value to null, check the if statement in below screenshot for an example.

When rule is set according to above 3 steps, system will not throw any error.
