    I installed the module and visited that page. Both $bfde and $bfds (lines 77 and 79 of BetterFieldDescriptionsSettingsForm, respectively) were NULL. It looks like the patch will resolve the warning, but maybe just showing a message 'Select the entities you want first' should be shown if $bfde is NULL.
