How did you import/create this multisig address?

BTC sent to multisig address, but no info about this in bitcoin core (listsinceblock, getwalletinfo, listunspent)

# BTC sent to multisig address, but no info about this in bitcoin core (listsinceblock, getwalletinfo, listunspent)

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-08-31)

I sent BTCs (testnet) to multisig address:

address:     2N8yzozJh1DFgrnND7TbSbuSQ1NPA8byQDu
transaction: 2453fe904b74acbbf541f98d2d5a1d7a509457a3df10bf38d0c3cb9326734dcd

But my bitcoin core does not return any info about this:

listsinceblock does not print this transaction
getwalletinfo returns balance 0.00000000
listunspent prints nothing

Why is that? Why is this different from regular addresses? How to know that I received BTC on my multisig address?
Here are my test wallet addresses:
./bitcoin-cli -conf=/home/bitcoin/conf/bitcoin.conf getaddressesbylabel ""
{
  "mmqFbnqtWdXU17SkSfTWAyXMLbPRzxZRrV": {
    "purpose": "receive"
  },
  "2N8yzozJh1DFgrnND7TbSbuSQ1NPA8byQDu": {
    "purpose": "send"
  }
}

Is this because of the purpose of the multisig address?

Edit 1
I created this multisig address using createmultisig as I saw this in multiple tutorials. Then I realized, that my wallet does not know anything about this address, so I called addmultisigaddress with the same parameters. Here is the command:
./bitcoin-cli addmultisigaddress 2 '''
      [
        "'027f27ef1c543fdcbf4804dd79a21fe61e9d6d367cd7e13dffc58bffbd11c62732'",
