Comment (by Ankit K Gupta):

 Thank you, @renyot, for this suggestion and patch. This enhancement is
 highly beneficial, and I personally appreciate it.

 I got an opportunity to test the patch, and it is functioning as expected.

 === Env
 * WordPress - 6.4-alpha-20230824.164623
 * Web Server: Nginx
 * Chrome Version - 115
 * OS -  macOS
 * Theme: Twenty Sixteen Version: 3.0
 * PHP - 7.4.0
 * Active Plugin - None

 === Steps to Test

 1. Login to WordPress Dashboard
 2. Enable the WordPress Events and News section from Screen Option IF not
 enabled
 3. Verify event type appears before the location
 4. Change the location and confirm the event type should appear.


 === Test result ✅

 This new enhancement works as expected and is very useful for users to
 easily identify the type of event.

 During this test, the patch performed as expected, and I didn't encounter
 any regressions. I conducted a quick test by changing the location in this
 widget as well and found all actions working as expected.
