remark: i want to name it with a post type: – a custom post type (that i created)

I’m trying to specify the particular “post-type”.

where in the screenshot above should you do that!?

the help page:

Post Types

see the help page for the message types

There are many different types of content in WordPress. These content types are normally described as post types, which can be a bit confusing because it refers to all the different types of content in WordPress. For example, a post is a specific message type, and so is a page.

Internally, all post types are stored in the same place – in the wp_posts database table – but are distinguished by a database column called post_type.

In addition to the standard post types, you can also create custom post types.

The Template files page briefly mentioned that different post types are represented by different template files. Since the whole purpose of a template file is to display content in a certain way, the purpose of Post Types is to categorize what type of content you’re dealing with. In general, certain message types are associated with certain template files.

Standard message types

There are several default post types available to users or used internally by the WordPress installation. The most common are:

Message (message type: ‘message’)

Page (post type: ‘page’)

Attachment (Message type: ‘attachment’)

Revision (message type: ‘revision’)

Navigation menu (message type: ‘nav_menu_item’)

Block templates (message type: ‘wp_template’)

Template parts (message type: ‘wp_template_part’)

The above post types can be modified and removed by a plugin or theme, but it is not recommended to remove the built-in functionality for a widely distributed theme or plugin.

It is beyond the scope of this manual to explain other message types in detail. However, it is important to note that you will interact with it and build its functionality navigation menus and this is described in detail later in this manual.

Custom post types

Custom post types allow you to create your own post type. It is not recommended to include this functionality in your theme. This kind of functionality needs to be put/created in a plugin. This ensures the portability of your user’s content, and that if the theme is changed, the content saved in the custom post types will not disappear.

You can learn more about it create custom post types in the WordPress Plugin Developer Handbook.

While you generally don’t develop custom post types in your theme, you may want to code ways to display custom post types created by a plugin. The following templates can display custom message types:
