When opening a workflow in K2 Studio, the following error occurs:

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: field.


Instructions 

Please check that the connectionString found in {K2 Installation Folder}\K2Studio\K2Studio.exe.config:
1. Has the domain name specified in the UserID field (e.g. K2TEST\Administrator)
2. Has a value set for the SecurityLabelName field (e.g. K2)

Example:
<add name="HostServer" connectionString="Integrated=False;IsPrimaryLogin=True;Authenticate=True;EncryptedPassword=False;Host=K2Server;Port=5555;UserID=K2TEST\Administrator;Password=Password123;SecurityLabelName=K2" providerName="K2FIVE" />
