How to set Github Actions as Required Status Checks

I would like to set my GitHub Actions as required status checks so that I would be able to have protected branches and prevent commits from being pushed to specific branches if they don’t pass the github actions checks. But when I go to the branch protection rules, the github actions don’t appear in the list of checks to choose from: Repository Branch Protection Rules Do Not Show GitHub Actions

As you can see here I do have two github actions that have been running for several weeks on my repo:

GitHub Actions That Exist in the Repository

So am I missing something? How do I set Github Actions as required status checks?

Give a name to a Job

jobs:
  build:
    name: Code Formatting

otherwise, it gives a build as a default name

And on the setting page, it gives suggestions whenever you start searching by job name.

You can still find your status check at search by name of the GitHub action job.

name: .NET

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  build:

    etc...

Here is name of the job is build.
