Hi Leticia,

You can use the force:createRecord Event with Quick Action for this:

Yes, The force:createRecord will open standard modal for record creation.

Also, the event has additional option to pre populate the values in the standard modal.

        var createRecordEvent = $A.get('e.force:createRecord');
        if ( createRecordEvent ) {
            createRecordEvent.setParams({
                'entityApiName': 'Case',
                'defaultFieldValues': {
                   
                }

Can you try below code 
<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,force:appHostable" >
	  <lightning:button label="Criar Caso" variant="brand" onclick="{!c.createCase}" />
</aura:component>
  
//JSCOntroller

({
	createCase : function(component, event, helper) {
        var createRecordEvent = $A.get('e.force:createRecord');
        if ( createRecordEvent ) {
            createRecordEvent.setParams({
                'entityApiName': 'Case'
            });
            createRecordEvent.fire();
        }
    }
})

Hope it resolves the error!.

Can you try below code and give your record type id after ':'. 
//JSCOntroller

({
	createCase : function(component, event, helper) {
        var createRecordEvent = $A.get('e.force:createRecord');
        if ( createRecordEvent ) {
            createRecordEvent.setParams({
                'entityApiName': 'Case',
                'defaultFieldValues': {
                   RecordTypeId : //give record type id here
                }
            });
            createRecordEvent.fire();
        }
    }
})

I'd like to show the screen to choose the recordtype.
Durga PaavanDurga Paavan
Hi ,
I thought you need to populate record type value, Sorry for misunderstanding!!.

record type selection is not available by default using force:createRecord Event and you need to implement extra stuff to provide record type selection. Please find below devloper forum discussion thread for the same.
https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/263875/recordtype-selection-list-not-available-in-a-gete-forcecreaterecord/263892

Hope it helps!!.

There is an idea around the same and you can take a look at comment from Salesforce as well.

Hi Leticia,

Please use the below code reference:

1. You Need to create the Apex Class to Fetch the Record Types.
2. On Component load ( Init ) call the Apex method and display the RT.
3. Based on the Selected Record Type you have to pass the parameter in CreateRecord Event.

Apex Class :

public class RecordTypeSelector{

    public static Map<Id, String> recordtypemap;

@AuraEnabled        

    public static Map<Id, String> fetchRecordTypeValues(String objectName){

        List<Schema.RecordTypeInfo> recordtypes = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(objectName).getDescribe().getRecordTypeInfos();    

        recordtypemap = new Map<Id, String>();

        for(RecordTypeInfo rt : recordtypes){

            recordtypemap.put(rt.getRecordTypeId(), rt.getName());

        }        

        return recordtypemap;

    }

}


====================
Component :

<aura:component controller="RecordTypeSelector" implements="force:lightningQuickActionWithoutHeader,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId" access="global" >

    

    <aura:attribute name="lstOfRecordType" type="String[]" />
