PyCharm does not highlight yaml syntax

Seems that there is a problem with Pycharm (2021.3.3 Community Edition) with yaml files.

It cannot recognize yaml files if they have a '-' in the file name.

So PyCharm does not highlight keywords and syntax in files like 'configuration-file.yml', but it does with 'configuration_file.yml'.

I'm contacting PyCharm in order to report this problem, but in the meantime how can I force a single file to be parsed as a yaml?

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

The question is different from this one. Mine refers to a problem related to the file name, the mentioned question refers to a general problem on the 9-years old PyCharm version where the Yaml files were only supported in the Pro edition!

While waiting to IntelliJ's answer, I've notice an item in the contextual menu of the file:

Here you can select the file type of the selected one.
