Hello,

Can we set the "Sync alerts" option for new cases default to 'off' or disabled? Tried it and it doesn't make a lot of sense for me. Setting a case to "In Progress" does not seem to set the related timeline alerts to "In Progress"  
This is a useless feature for our instance currently, so I'd love to stop disabling it very time I'm making a case..

Best regards,

Willem

Hi @willemdh,

Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment. Could you please open a [feature request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=Feature_request.md) add the `Team:Threat Hunting` label, and mentioned me (`cnasikas`) so I can discuss it with the team?

This option sync only alerts attached to a case. Not the alerts of the timeline attached to a case.

Guide to attach an alert to a case: [Manage detection alerts | Elastic Security Solution [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/master/alerts-ui-manage.html#signals-to-cases)

Best,  
Christos

Created [Set Sync Alerts to Disabled by Default · Issue #107696 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/107696) , but I cannot add the label `Team:Threat Hunting`
