Switch this one:

$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['pi_flexform']['config']['ds_pointerField'] =
'list_type';

to

$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['pi_flexform']['config']['ds_pointerField'] =
'CType';

and then add something like

$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['pi_flexform']['config']['ds']['mailform'] =
'myForm_flexform_ds.xml';
