Comments.Text: Hi Rowan - welcome to SE. Can you clarify a bit more of your process as Civi can be used in many different ways. What do you mean by 'case note' (not a phrase i am familiar with and we have worked with civicase for several clients), also want do you mean by 'populate the contact with info from the case note', and again your 'intake sheet'. urls, screenshots and navigational clues can all help others figure what you mean. eg on dmaster i can Open Case, via Cases > New Case, and on that select the 'client', and in doing so use the New Individual profile to add data.

  if the process you are using is via New Case, then you get the option to Add New Individual if the contact does not exist.
  
  In that case you can modify the New Individual profile and add additional core or custom fields to that so you can add the info you require to your contact.
