Navigate to Case Configuration from Settings.
Select the required Case Type from the list.
Then choose the workflow from the available workflow list and save the configuration.

Once configured, whenever a new case is created under that Case Type, the selected workflow will be automatically applied to all Case Subtypes associated with that Case Type.
This helps maintain a standardized process, improves task management, and ensures users follow the configured workflow structure throughout the case lifecycle.
Note: The workflow configuration will apply only to newly created cases. Existing cases will not be affected.
