@Apurv Kumar 

when you want child records to be created?

you can have after insert/update BR on parent and have the logic defined.

what did you start with and where are you stuck?

I am trying to take values from a field on parent record ie.u_type_of_work

var vastIds = ((current.parent_record.u_type_of_work).toString()).split(',');

{

  for(i=0;i<vastIds.length;i++)

   {

var newTask = new GlideRecord('child_table');

newTask.initialize();

newTask.u_task_type = "xyz";

newTask.insert();

}

}

I created an after insert BR and not able to create the new task records with above code..Kindly help

try this

var vastIds = current.parent_record.u_type_of_work.toString().split(',');

for(var i=0; i<vastIds.length; i++)
{
	var newTask = new GlideRecord('child_table');
	newTask.initialize();
	newTask.u_task_type = "xyz";
	newTask.insert();
}

Then you can store that number in any variable and while creating a new task just add the value of that variable into short_description.

Mark as correct if it will helpful.
