 Hi @michaelecklund ,

 I've submitted a PR that proposes a core-level fix for this issue by
 enhancing the logic in WP_Theme::get_post_templates() to support a
 Template Post Type: any header. This allows a single template to be made
 available across all public post types without having to explicitly list
 them.

 In the meantime, if you’d like to achieve similar functionality without
 modifying core, you can use the following workaround by hooking into the
 init action and applying the theme_{$post_type}_templates filter
 dynamically:

 {{{#!php
 add_action('init', function () {
     $post_types = get_post_types(['public' => true], 'names');

     foreach ($post_types as $post_type) {
         add_filter("theme_{$post_type}_templates", function ($templates) {
             $templates['your-template-file.php'] = 'Your Template Label';
             return $templates;
         });
     }
 });
 }}}

 This will register your custom template across all public post types
 regardless of what’s declared in the template header.
