Can't select credential kind when creating Jenkins credentials inside folder

Question

I'm trying to create a new credential inside a Jenkins folder called Playground but for some reason the Kind field where I'm supposed to be able to select the type of credential I want only shows a fixed option Username with password

However, if I step outside of the folder and to go the Jenkins root and try to create a credential there, then I do get the combo with all the available options for the Kind field:

Note that when I do this inside a folder there's a message just below the ID field saying ERROR. When I display the error I see this:

Here's the full stack trace:

Here's the info on the plugin versions I'm using:

• Credentials: 2.1.13
• Credentials binding: 1.11
• Folders: 6.0.4

Has anyone encountered and issue such as this before?

Answer 1

After much searching I found the source of the problem. By mistake I had added a restriction to the types of credentials allowed in a folder.

By going to Jenkins>Manage Jenkis>Configure Credentials - http://$JENKINS_URL/configureCredentials/ and deleting the restriction I'm now able to create any type of credential inside a folder.
