An assignment x.f = v where v could be null and field f is not annotated with @Nullable. Example: ```java class C { String f; void foo(@Nullable String s) { f = s; } } ``` Action: The preferred action is to ensure that a null value is never stored in the field, by changing the code or changing annotations. If this cannot be done, add a @Nullable annotation to the field. This annotation might trigger more warnings in other code that uses the field, as that code must now deal with null values.
