BugController.cs class. Bug and BugDTO are almost identical classes, except Bug has an extra property....<Bug>... with ...<BugDTO>..., and change the lambda expr in _context.Bugs.Select(...) to also convert the Bugs to BugDTOs, then the error in the screenshot happens.isFixed being nullable, but forgiving null doesn't change anything. The error message also shows my lambda expr as b => (bool?)BugsController... which could be a problem, but I don't know what. Both allBugDTOList and filteredBugDTOList are of type List<BugDTO> as well, assuming I made the DTO-related changes in my 2nd paragraph.
