Catalog content link becomes a null after the site restarts

We have a page property which holds a catalog content:

[Display(
Name = "Root",
Description = "",
GroupName = CustomTabNames.SettingsTabs.Pages,
Order = 10)]
[UIHint(EPiServer.Commerce.UIHint.CatalogNode)]
public virtual ContentReference Catalog { get; set; }

Everything worked fine untill the latest update. From now, the property becomes a null after the site restarts. If I open the page in the edit mode, the property seems like assigned, but If I read it from code, I am getting null. If I change something and republish the page, everything works fine until the next site restart. The same property placed inside of a block works as usual.

Other properties linked with cms content (pages, media) work fine.

What may be a reason the behavior?

The latest versions CMS, Find, Commerce, Personalization installed at the moment.

Hi, We are experiencing the same issue after updating to latest nuget version. Which version did you first experience this in and did you find a solution? Did you post a bug to episerver about this?

QA reported back that they can't reproduce the issue. Can you test a bit more and consolidate the reproduce steps?

Total long shot, does setting the appsetting as described here help:

We have the same issue!
When the site is restarted the values are null until the page is published again

[UIHint(EPiServer.Commerce.UIHint.CatalogEntry)]
[Display(GroupName = SiteTabs.Manadsgivare, Order = 110)]
public virtual ContentReference AutogiroProduct { get; set; }

[UIHint(EPiServer.Commerce.UIHint.CatalogEntry)]
[Display(GroupName = SiteTabs.Manadsgivare, Order = 110)]
public virtual ContentReference BecomeMemberProduct { get; set; }

My guess is Castle Core adds a suffix _DynamicProxy instead for Proxy on the EPiServer.Core.Content,
and the contentreference is pointing to commerce that is a complexreference with provider information.
Thats my guess..

It works When we add to web.config
<add key="episerver:setoption:EPiServer.Core.ContentOptions.ProxyType,EPiServer" value="Castle" />

Maybe add that key in the DXC settings to make sure it works
