# Update case attributes

When you start reviewing a case, you can update the case title and description, assign the case, and star a case.

### Assign a case

You can assign or reassign a case by clicking on the assigned field.

If the case contains unassigned issues, or the issues are not assigned to the case assignee, a dialog opens with options for assigning the issues.

### Update the case title and description

A case title and description is automatically generated for each case. In addition, AI-generated case summaries are automatically generated when you open a case to provide case context.

You can manually update the saved case description, as required.

1. Select a case and open the Actions [![Actions\_icon.png](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAYCAYAAADzoH0MAAAACXBIWXMAABJ0AAASdAHeZh94AAAAB3RJTUUH6gEbCTQH6+w2sQAAARFJREFUOI1jFFc0+M9AAWCiRPPgMIAFn6SpqTEDAwMDw/179xnevH1HmgFpKYkMhXnZDAwMDAz///9nMDK3Yfjx4yeGOpxeUJSXg7MZGRkZhIWEsKrDacB3NNv+/fuHVR1OL7R2dDG8hfr7+s0bDM9fvMSqjpHShITTBWJiIgwFuVkMjAyMDJeuXGVYvnINaS5oa65jCPT3g/NdPHwZnj57jqEOZyAyMjDicTgRBly6chXO/vHjB1bbGRgIBKK0lCQDAwMDTs0MDASSMj6NMIDTC16ebgyXzp1guH7pDMP1S2dIN8DWypKBlQXhQJh3iDaAWIAzDBYtXc4gISnBwMTIxHDuwkXyYoEYMPBFGsUGAABHz1CwkQ+L1AAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==)](https://docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com/viewer/attachment/BNCvOg6pEdBp~axnn92pBQ/M6VWQ6pmGrRp8UwRe870IQ-BNCvOg6pEdBp~axnn92pBQ) menu.
2. Select Edit case details.
3. Update the values in the Case title and Case description fields.

   The defined values are shown in the Case Name and Case Description columns in the Table view, and saved to the `cases` dataset. The case title is also shown the list of cases in the Split view.

   These values do not replace the AI-generated case title and summary. If the Summarize with AI toggle is enabled, AI-generated case summaries are automatically generated when you open a case. For more information about how Cortex Cloud generates case titles and descriptions, see [AI-generated case summaries](/cortex-cloud-runtime-security/cases-and-issues/analyze-and-resolve-cases/establish-case-context/ai-generated-case-summaries.md).
4. Save your changes.

### Star or un-star a case

You can manually star or un-star a case:

1. Go to Cases & Issues → Cases and select the case that you want to star.
2. Depending on the selected view, take the following action:
   * In the **Split** view, open the Actions menu and select Edit case details. Switch the toggle to star or un-star the case.
   * In the **Table** view, select one or more cases and right-click. Select whether to star or un-star the cases.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-cloud-runtime-security/cases-and-issues/analyze-and-resolve-cases/establish-case-context/update-case-attributes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
