# Create a project issue for a case

The customer project manager can create project issues for cases that have been created for customer projects and project tasks.

## Before you begin

Role required: customer project manager \(it\_project\_manager + sn\_customerservice.projectmanager\)

## About this task

The project manager can create one issue for a case.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Customer Service** > **Projects** > **All**.

2.  Click a project in the Customer Projects list.

3.  In the **Cases** related list, click a case.

    The system creates a new issue for the project and copies the **Short description** and **Priority** from the case.

    -   Adds the issue number to the activity stream on the Case form.
    -   Adds the issue to the **Issues** related list on the Customer Project form.
