Error while creating intiatives

[Ron Jacob]

Hi 

While creating an initiative in Jira portfolio, I am getting following error.

What is the cause

Have you verified when you look at the sources you setup for portfolio, that the source does include the "initiative" JIRA issue type?  Generally I go to the project or board (whatever you are using) and try to create one outside of portfolio.  If you cannot create one, then you need to modify your JIRA project/board.
