Problems with dropdown and custom post type values

Hello,
I’m trying to activate a search form with a “Post Type”, input type “dropdown” and selected the checkbox for that specific post type.
However, in the page of the website where is available the form, I can’t see in the dropdown all the list but only a unique value, the name of the custom post type.

I’ve a custom post type “medical laboratory” (created with CPT UI and ACF), and I’d like to have in the dropdown all the names of the medical labs.
Is there a tutorial to explain me how to do it?
Thanks.
Regards,
Michele

Fixed.
It was necessary to use “Post Meta”.

I wonder if this is the issue:

Note that, with fields made by ACF, when selecting the meta key, note a ‘gotcha’ with ACF ….

… it makes 3 meta keys per field, like this (in this example for a field named ‘land’):

#1 _land
#2 field_52f0fc4334f52
#3 land

In our Meta Key selection list, you need to use key #3, without the underscore at the start of the key name. If you choose #1 by mistake, in the field choices you will see the name of #2.
