Catalog Task is the usual child task for a Request Item and has a special relationship with RITM variables.

The "Create Task" activity creates *ANY* kind of task, but does not inherit any of the variables of the RITM.

Hi Burra,

Create Task workflow activity

The Create Task activity generates a record on any of the tables that extend Task [task].

If the Wait for completion check box is selected, the workflow context waits for a user action on the task, such as Complete or Incomplete, and then progresses based on the user action.

Note: If a workflow contains a Create Task activity that has executed on the current record, additional Create Task activities in the workflow or in subflows cannot create new task records. To create additional tasks in this situation, add a Run Script workflow activity activity that creates a task with a script.

Catalog Task workflow activity

The Catalog Task activity creates a service catalog task record.

A user must complete the catalog task. This activity is available only for workflows running on the Catalog Request Item [sc_req_item] table.
