An URL for Bitbucket Cloud (instead of Server) has been used when creating the application link (e.g. https://bitbucket.org/).
Resolution
Instead of creating an application link, add the repository directly by using the "Native repository access" tab by following these steps:
Go to Administration -> Repositories
Select the "Native repository access" tab
Select "Add repository"
When asked select the expected "Repository type" (e.g. Git) and enter the Bitbucket Cloud address for your repository as repository location. The repository location is the link you get when you select the Clone option in Bitbucket Cloud
