Creating separate tasks for each value in List Collector

[Dawid2]

Hello,

Would it be possible to create a Workflow that would create X number of tasks, where X is the number of items selected in List Collector variable? For example, if user selected 2 items in List Collector, it should create 2 tasks, if 3 - then 3 tasks should be created. I found the script provided by @Mark Stanger that reads:

// Create 'sc_task' records for each item in the list collector var
var options = current.variables.list_collector;

// Iterate through the options
for (i=0; i < options.length; i++) {
    // Query for the current CI
    var ci = new GlideRecord('cmdb_ci_server');
    ci.get(options[i]);

    // Create a new task record for the current CI
    var sct = new GlideRecord('sc_task');
    sct.initialize();
    sct.short_description = 'Task for ' + ci.name;
    sct.assignment_group = ci.u_assignment_group; // Make sure this field name is correct!
    sct.request_item = current.sys_id;
    sct.insert();
}

However, no task is being created. Is it something with the code? Btw, it should work for workflows, not Flows.

Okay, it's solved. As advised by @William Coursen, modifying first line to 

var options = current.variables.list_collector.toString().split(',');

did the trick 🙂

Hello @Dawid2 

How did you execute this? By chance are you able to provide a screenshot of where you implemented the code?
