Error : No eligible views were found. Create a view with an Entity Reference display, or add such a display to an existing view

I cannot work out some basic stuff … what do I not correct? Using D8, distribution varbase.

I would like to create a reference from one content type to antoher in D8 so a user is able to use a select box by module chosen (https://www.drupal.org/project/chosen)

I looked up different post but cannot find the problem. The latest QA is followed is: How to create a select box field to select from a filtered list of articles? or also this post How to create a view type of Entity reference display?

So I did I create a view

- Add Display Entity Reference - Format:Entity Reference list | Settings with content: title - Show:Entity Reference inline fields | Settings with content title. 

Then I add some fields as well. The result is a list of education Clear cache, did drush CR.

I goto to the content type I would like to have the reference (e.g. student). Add a field and would like to add this view a a selectbox to object student.

I should be entity reference the in the reference field I select Views with a filter reference. But every time I get the message here…

No eligible views were found. Create a view with an Entity Reference display, or add such a display to an existing view.

The view list displays: Nascholingsactiviteit voor leden – Entity Reference Source

I made another view for testing purposes but no result of that as well.

I tried other fields but i cannot get it working. I though this is all in D8 core now… Any suggestions?
