Hi, we have a questionnaire case type built using Contellation. When user completes the case, we want the case to close automatically (and go back to the previous screen before launching the case), instead of landing on the following screen (default behavior).  
How can this be achieved in Constellation?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Will, I’m not if this is an option. If you can display the questionnaire with all steps dfined in the first stage (instead of multiple stages), then it will shown in the modal dialog and the user can go back to the screen where he was in.

@Will_Cho Infinity '26 enabled this for Constellation Applications. I am unsure how this would work in a Questionnaire context, that is its own feature so it may not have this enabled.

Thanks @MarcCheong for the information. “Questionnaire” case type is a special case type where the flow action might be a Final rule. I’ll try to create a standard case type as a wrapper and launch the questionnaire case type as a child to see if I can apply your suggested approach in the parent case’s flow action to auto close the child questionnaire case type as well.

Hi @MarcCheong,

I have similar kind of requirement. I have attached my case type & last flowaction screenshot. Even though i’ve selected close the case, it is not closing the case after resolution(opened in standalone mode). Could u pls help to understand if this is expected in Pega Infinity '25.1.3.
