How to create multiple tasks using workflow

[Arun61]

Why use workflow? Workflow is being replaced by flow designer and within the flow designer you can just drag and drop anything you need the flow to do.

@Arun61  Please try to implement the use case in flow designer as per @Mark Manders. 

But if you still require it using workflow, below is a snippet of achieving the use case. 

1. Created a selected box variables with choices 1, 2, 3 

2. Created a run script in workflow to create tasks dynamically

Dynamic tasks creation based on the variable value selected: 

var length = current.variables.select_the_value;

for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) { 
    var task = new GlideRecord("sc_task");
    task.initialize();
	task.parent = current.sys_id;
    task.short_description = "Catalog Task creation count : " +i;
    task.request = current.request;
    task.request_item = current.sys_id;
    task.insert();
}

3. Wait until all the tasks are not active

checkCatalogTasks();
function checkCatalogTasks() {
var grTask = new GlideRecord('sc_task');
grTask.addQuery('request_item', current.sys_id);
grTask.addQuery('active', true);
grTask.query();
if(grTask.hasNext()){
answer = false;
}
else{
answer = true;
}
}

4. Validate if all tasks are "Closed Complete" or "Closed Incomplete"

5. Set the RITM state accordingly

Note: This works only if the catalog task states are same.  Incase of violation of states, it considers only the last updated record state. 

Modify the scripts as per your requirement for the other fields. 

Please mark this as helpful and accept it as a solution if this resolves your query.
