TypeError: Cannot read property 'get' of null

Expected behavior

I have two models involved: guides and steps. I expect to be able to create a guide and create steps associated with that guide from the Forest Admin web interface. I sent this issue to support@forestadmin.com but I'm posting it here in case someone from the community has had a similar issue and might have a solution.

Actual behavior

I am able to create a guide but when I try to create a step associated with that guide no network request is made and an error is logged to the console. This error was not occurring the last time I tried it (September 19) and we've made no model/code changes in several months.

Steps to reproduce:

• login to Forest admin and create a guide
• click on steps (from the left of this guide details, so that it will be associated with this guide)
• click on the + -> create new step
• fill out the required fields and click save
• nothing happens. no network request is made and the error below is logged to the console
