You need two actions in the source

You set the arrival type.
You add or find a trigger “OnCreation”
In there you find a picklist option in this trigger to set Type and Color for items in Data section. The standard will create three types with different colors.

@catalina P, the first option is enough. The second option is already included in the first. Please delete it.

Additionally the arrival time by case won’t work, because current.type isn’t assigned. It is a bit complicated to get the arrival of the item by Type by an item that doesn’t exist. Maybe you can set the arrival time of the next item by the actual created Type. In such a scenario you should add three sources to your model. Each creates one Type of an item with a color.
