I put that in my other email, at least as far as I could based on my
understanding. 'Mount point' is just an element of the partition's
properties on the right hand side of custom partitioning. I think it's
greyed out in your screenshot because you did not yet specify a
filesystem for the partition. As I wrote in my other mail, I think all
you need to do is set the filesystem drop down and then the mount point
text entry.
