[JENKINS-58061] Can't configure SonarQube User Token (text field replaced with credentials drop-down).

All tutorials I've seen for the SonarQube plugin show a text field to paste in the User Token. However, I'm seeing a Credentials dropdown for selecting and/or adding a token, except I'm unable to add a token in any form that works (screenshot attached) as nothing ever appears in the dropdown to select a defined token.

I'm unsure if this is due to an issue with the SonarQube plugin or Credentials plugin. (Sorry if I guessed wrongly).
