Opening a Support Request and only Sev A severity allows to continue to submit request

I am looking to open up a Support Request within the Azure Portal, and it only allows a Sev A severity support request which I only need a Sev C. The "Next" option is grayed out for a Sev B and Sev C under the "Additional Details" section, but becomes ungrayed out when I change the severity to a Sev A. Is there a specific place I can successfully open an Azure Portal Support Request? I am looking to get a VNET whitelisted within Azure to allow traffic to one of our containers. Thanks.

    Hi Arron,

    They recently changed it so that Standard support plan Severity B and C have to be posted here on Q & A instead of creating Technical support request in the portal. That is why it is behaving the way you are describing.

    What I recommend is to create a new question describing your specific issue/question. If necessary, a Microsoft External Staff person will create a Technical support request on your behalf.

    The above is known as Priority Community Support (PCS). Below article describes it. Initially it was for Developer support plan, with Standard support Severity B and C added this year:

    Priority Community Support (PCS) for Azure technical support
