We have an option of creating a case through data flow, by choosing Destination as Case, then passing the case type in the drop down. 

I can no longer see my case type in this drop down. Upon analyzing the issue, I realized the list of case types on the properties of destination shape is populated by D_StartingFlowsAsList data page. This data page is looking for an instance of Data-Admin-StartingFlows class.

Since 8.5, pega no longer creates an instance of Data-Admin-StartingFlows class while creating a new case type as explained in this link.

I am not using any frameworks. Just Vanilla.

How can we then use the case creating feature of destination shape by sticking to the coding best practices of pega? Has anyone explored this?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
