Hi @Abdul 

Yes, Doable. I don’t have the exact script handy, but the logic would be like this:

Use the Get Variable action in Flow Designer to check how many entries exist in NRVS. Based on that:

• If the number of rows is 0, then no task is created.

• Otherwise, implement logic to create the task.

@Abdul ,

When a catalog item is submitted:

The MRVS data is stored in the sc_multi_row_question_answer table.

It links to the request item (sc_req_item) through the parent field.

Add a Run Script activity before your “Create Task” activity. 

Create a Decision activity after the script.

Set the condition: proceed == true → path leads to Create Task.

Set the false path → End or next logical step.

@Abdul 

why not use flow designer for this?

In flow designer check if MRVS has any row and store the flag in flow variable

If flow variable value is TRUE then iterate that MRVS and create those many tasks

If flow variable value is FALSE then don't create

see this gif on how to do this in flow

if you want to use Workflow then check this link has approach, enhance it
