Does anyone know what the difference is between a regular Record Producer and a Composite Record Producer?

Thanks

Hi @tahnalos 

The main difference between a regular Record Producer and a Composite Record Producer is that a Composite Record Producer can create multiple records of different types in a single operation, while a regular Record Producer can only create one record at a time.

For example, a Composite Record Producer could be used to create a new Change Request and a new Task in a single operation. A regular Record Producer could only be used to create one of these records at a time.

Please, don't forget to mark my answer as correct if it solves your issue or mark it as helpful if it is relevant for you!

How is the multiple record creation accomplished?  Is it solely via script or another function?  If it is solely through script, why can't we put a GlideRecord insert on a regular producer?

So I tested this out on Record producer.  I can create any number of records through a script so I'm still trying to understand what the real difference between a regular Record Producer and a Composite Record Producer if possible.

Hi @tahnalos , 

I guess, It's about making a record in multiple table at a time from one record producer. That's the aim of composite record producer.

Eg. Creating a Change request as well as a Change task associated to it in a single record producer, here is the composite record producer plays a role.
