TFS Board Configuration Issue

Question

I am trying to configure the TFS board for a new team project and I was able to create the work items, states, fields, etc. However, I am getting this when trying to Configure the TFS features.

Here are my questions:

Where can I find the "TypeFields/TypeField[type='ApplicationType'"?
Should I go ahead and destroy the work items and run feature enablement to get rid of TF400612?

These fields are found in the ProcessTemplate.xml file. It looks like yours is jacked up, so I'd go in and take a look. It's in your process template under the "WorkItem Tracking"->"Process" folder. Here is a reference. Also, your xml should look like the below for the Feedback work items:

<FeedbackRequestWorkItems category="Microsoft.FeedbackRequestCategory" pluralName="Feedback Requests" singularName="Feedback Request">    
  <States>
          <State value="Active" type="InProgress" />
          <State value="Closed" type="Complete" />    
  </States> 
</FeedbackRequestWorkItems> 
<FeedbackResponseWorkItems category="Microsoft.FeedbackResponseCategory" pluralName="Feedback Responses" singularName="Feedback Response">    
  <States>    
    <State value="Active" type="InProgress" />    
    <State value="Closed" type="Complete" />    
  </States> 
</FeedbackResponseWorkItems>
