Resolution
The functionality to configure an Ad Hoc case for reuse is intended to copy the case structure to the application and not configuration based on tasks. So if for example you have a multi-level parent / child case structure this will be copied to a case structure which can then be developed into a permanent case type.
The system creates what only the rulese as stated in the help (case type, starter flow, work parties, and activity rules) to give a base for developing a new case type.
