Hi,  
I have a issue with the cases feature in Kibana Security section. I have created a timeline and I am trying to add any errors that I find as a case or to an existing case. However, it will not allow me to do this through the timeline I created. There is however an option on the top right to add it to a case but I don't want the whole timeline in the case only a certain error.  
would be great if anyone could help me out please.

Hi @cctk ,

You can attach an event to a case from the timeline if the kind of event is `signal`. At the moment you cannot attach events of another kind.

**Attaching an alert to cases from detections page:**

**Unsupported event cannot be attached to a case:**
