Steps To Reproduce:

1. On 6.2, add a Bookmarks portlet to the page
2. Configure the portlet and under Entry Columns move Visits from Current to Available
3. Add a new Bookmark
4. Upgrade to DXP
5. Try to view the portlet under the List view
6. Assert the bookmark does not display and an NPE is thrown in the logs

Note

If you have already upgraded, there is a workaround to resolve this issue:

1. Go to Liferay - Content - Bookmarks - Three Ellipses in Upper Right - Configuration
2. Move the errant comma separated values under Folder Colums and Entry Columns to the right
3. Move the valid values that you wish to use to the left
4. After saving, the CSVs will be removed and will no longer be able to be selected
