This occurs because a post function is configured on the create transition, which runs a Scriptrunner script, but the Scriptrunner app is not installed within Jira.
Solution
To resolve this issue two approaches could be taken:
Install ScriptRunner
If it is intended to have the script executed, then the ScriptRunner app would need to be installed from the Atlassian Marketplace. This can be done via:
Settings > Manage Apps
Find Scriptrunner and choose to install the app. Additional details on installing apps can be found within Installing Marketplace Apps for Jira Data Center and Server
Remove the script from the post-function
If the script is not needed, it can be removed from the post function via:
Settings > Issues > Workflows > (select workflow) > Edit
Select the Create transition and choose the post function option
Find the script execution post function and remove it
Publish the updated workflow
