Error while updating a project

[vikasrohit]

Following error appears when trying to PATCH a project (6450 in dev). Template id of the project is 5 which might not be active now. If that is the case we might need to handle it gracefully, otherwise need to fix it.

@vikasrohit apart from fixing this error in Project Service, we also have to handle it on the client-side somehow. At the moment when I open such a project I see an infinite loading page because Project Template is indeed not found, and we don't know how to display the project (https://connect.topcoder-dev.com/projects/6450):

Btw, how did you call the PATCH request if Connect App cannot open this project?

@vikasrohit it's fixed by PR #583. Fix verified locally.

Yes, UI also needs the fix. One of the event processors which consumes salesforce events and updates the v5 project, is making the PATCH request.

Created a follow-up issue for another issue found on the client appirio-tech/connect-app#4207

This issue might be closed.
