I can not set the issue type in the connector

when I try to test it without the type I get the error

```auto
Support Boart: an error occurred while running the action: [Action][Jira]: Unable to create incident. Error: Request failed with status code 400. Reason: Specify an issue type

```

so the connector is not working

Kibana version: v 8.3.3

Hi christian4elastic,

Your Jira connector might not be set up correctly, and that is why you aren't seeing any issue type options to select.

I would suggest doing a curl command using the url below to make sure you're getting a valid result:  
`{URL}/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta/{projectKey}/issuetypes`
