How do I create a Webform that will open a case and assign case role

Question

I'm trying to set up a webform to open a case and assign a case role.

3 contacts: Source, Client, Case Coordinator

The open case part works great, but if I add the Case Coordinator relationship, it creates the relationship outside of the case.

If I add another activity (the first one is open case) and use assign case role, I don't get the option to choose which contact to use.

Any guidance?

Answer 1

I setup three contacts, all with just first and last name for simplicity sake. Here is a screen shot of the case setup for Webform-CiviCRM 7x.4.10.

I haven't setup an activity to also be created when the form is submitted.

When the form is submitted, it creates the client, source contact and case coordinator. Then creates the case with the client as the client and the case coordinator as the case manager

Note that it does also create the relationship between the client and the coordinator outside the case in addition to inside the case. The rationale here is that if the client has more than one case, it would be useful to know who the other case coordinators for that client are. This relationship will be automatically pulled into the Other Roles fieldset of subsequent case(s).

That is weird, we are doing this pretty often in our project. But I am not working on the Webforms, let me do a quick check on one. In one of our webforms I see a Case Manager field? (see attached print)
