How to Add a project into portfolio without creating a specilized profile

I tried to add another project to my portfolio but instead a window prompting to create a specialized profile poped up. Is there any way to add a project to my general profile portfolio without creating a specialized profile?

Hi Alexander,

 

Unfortunately yes, you will need to create a specialized profile in order to be able to add portfolio items. Thank you.

Hi Alexander,

 

Unfortunately at the moment, you will not be able to add a portfolio item only on your general profile, this is by design. 

Once you`ve added a portfolio you can remove it from your specialized profile and it will be listed under your general profile.

If you don't want a portfolio item to show on a Specialized profile, you can go to that profile's portfolio section, select the pencil icon in the upper right corner and then un-select that item from the list. Thank you. Thank you.

Hi, Goran!
Thank you for reply, but I haven't even created a specialized portfolio, I have only general. Does it mean I have no option but to create one?
