Exception When using complex filtering + UrlAdaptor

I'm getting this error:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Syncfusion.EJ2.Base.QueryableOperation.GetColumnType<T>(IQueryable<T> dataSource, string filterString, Type type)

Please help

This is my code:

private IQueryable<ContractListVM> GetContractsQuery()
{
            return _contractRepository.GetContracts()
                .OrderByDescending(x => x.CreatedOn)
                .Select(contract => new ContractListVM
                {
                    ContractId = contract.ContractId,
                    ContractAmount = contract.ContractAmount,
                    ContractStatus = Enumeration.FromValue<ContractStatusEnum>(contract.ContractStatusId).Name,
                    CreatedOn = contract.CreatedOn.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy"),
                    ExpirationDate = contract.ExpirationDate.Value.ToString("s"),

                }).AsQueryable();
}


public async Task<IActionResult> UrlDatasource([FromBody]DataManagerRequest dm)
        {
            var query = GetContractsQuery();
            var operation = new QueryableOperation();
            var count = query.Count();


            if (dm.Search != null && dm.Search.Count > 0)
            {
                query = operation.PerformSearching(query, dm.Search);  //Search
            }
            if (dm.Sorted != null && dm.Sorted.Count > 0) //Sorting
            {
                query = operation.PerformSorting(query, dm.Sorted);
            }
            if (dm.Where != null && dm.Where.Any()) //Filtering
            {
                foreach (var whereFilter in dm.Where)
                {
                    if (whereFilter.IsComplex)
                    {
                        foreach (var whereFilterPredicate in whereFilter.predicates)
                        {
                            query = operation.PerformFiltering(query, dm.Where, whereFilterPredicate.Operator);
                        }
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        query = operation.PerformFiltering(query, dm.Where, dm.Where.First().Operator);
                    }
                }
            }

            var str = new List<string>();

            if (dm.Aggregates != null)
            {
                str.AddRange(dm.Aggregates.Select(t => t.Field));
            }

            var aggregate = operation.PerformSelect(query, str);

            if (dm.Skip != 0)
            {
                query = operation.PerformSkip(query, dm.Skip);   //Paging
            }
            if (dm.Take != 0)
            {
                query = operation.PerformTake(query, dm.Take);
            }

            var result = await query.ToListAsync();

            return dm.RequiresCounts 
                ? Json(new { result, count, aggregate }) 
                : Json(result);
        }



Ui code: 

<ejs-grid id="ContractsGrid"
          allowPaging="true"

          allowFiltering="true"
          allowMultiSorting="true"

Hi Mohammed, 
  
Thanks for your update. 
  
We have considered this as a usability feature improvement “Problem with DataOperations when bind IQueryable data to Grid”, and logged a task for the same. 
  
You can now track the current status of your request, review the proposed resolution timeline, and contact us for any further inquiries through this link.  
  
  
We will include this feature in our any upcoming release. Until then we suggest you to bind List values to Grid to overcome the problem you are facing. 
  
Regards, 
Seeni Sakthi Kumar S
