What is the difference between Create Catalog Task and Create Task?

[Ronn Allen Tuma]

What is the difference between the Create Catalog Task action and Create Task then targeting the Catalog Task [sc_task] table?

No huge difference, but the create catalog task will let you also choose which variables to display on the catalog task form.

Hi,

These two workflow activities are very similar; the primary difference being that the Catalog Task activity specifically creates a record in the Catalog Task [sc_task] table, whereas the Create Task activity can generate a record in any task-derived table.

Catalog Task:

1)This activity is only available for workflows running on the Catalog Request Item [sc_req_item] table.

2)The Catalog Task activity creates a service catalog task record

Create Task:

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

Please mark  and accepted a solution as correct is it useful
