I assume you mean that a separate print 'does not' show the filesystem. This is normal, and it is because parted doesn't actually create the filesystem, you need to do that yourself. When creating a partition the filesystem you enter is used to determine the UUID to use for the partition type (eg. linux data or swap or whatever). When you rerun parted without actually creating that filesystem it doesn't show anything because it hasn't detected a filesystem on the partition. If you create an ext4 filesystem on that partition it will show ext4. Note that in the current master version of parted it can show the actual partition type UUID in the --json output.
