Setting an actor type attribute to the current item. (solved)

I need to set an actor type attribute to the current item in a for every item in a list loop block. How can I do this? To reiterate I'm talking about the current item block at the bottom of the Attributes > Lists block category.

Also, how do I get a specific actor type without using an attribute in code and add that to a list. Or would the appropiate text entry work, and then just get it as an actor type?
