First screenshot is from the custom Flow Action you have to build (takes a string and returns an array).

2. Call your custom action "String to Array" with the location variable as string input (unfortunately it didn´t rename it in my flow)

3. Do a for-each on the result from the action (array of sys_ids)

3.1 Do a GlideRecord Lookup for the Location based on the for-each value (sys_id)

3.2 Create the Catalog Task as you want.

If you are not familiar with Flows and Actions, please have a look at the documentation: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/orlando-servicenow-platform/page/administer/flow-designer/concept...

Hi can you tell me which type of variable you have taken for input variable & output variable

Hi

Variable Inputs should be a string and you pass a list to that sting?

Variable Outputs should be Array.string?

Thank you!

Hi @Sebastian R. and chaffou, to clarify the inputs and outputs for the List to Array action?

Action input - String

Script step input - not defined (drop pill from input Variables)

Script step output - Array.String

Action output - Array.String (define and drop pill from script step output)

Please see images of outputs. Any "input" to what I am doing wrong would be great

Thanks, Ken

Hi @Samyak Jain2,
Instead of using a List Collector, you could try using an MRV (Multi-Row Variable) set. It will be easier to create multiple tasks based on location.
