Body: <p>I want a user to be able to order various stickers from our website. They are distributed for free, but in exchange we request photos of where people put them. To track the whole process of application, mailing, communications, reminders, and receiving the photos back, we need to create a CiviCRM Case.
  However, I'm not able to display such a Profile on the website (Wordpres 5.8.2, CiviCRM 5.38). Turns out, the сustom fields set I've created for various stickers' selection is not even listed among profiles I can put online via the CiviCRM button (which inserts the code like [civicrm component=&quot;profile&quot; gid=&quot;32&quot; mode=&quot;create&quot; hijack=&quot;0&quot;]).
  Is there a way to open a case through an online form?</p>
