Multiple records created from a single record producer?

[Jason Stephens]

Does anyone know if you can use a record producer to create multiple records? I would like to use a record producer to create 4 tasks (for 4 different departments) based on the info entered. All 4 tasks would basically have the same information in them, just assigned to different groups. If not, I guess I will have to use a workflow, which is not a problem. The record producer method would just be easier in the situation I have.

Thanks for the input - as always!

Maybe with a script but you'd have to script it all out and possibly make a business rule to do it. I'd just keep it simple and create a workflow.

After thinking about it a little more, I think you're right. I wasn't sure about all 4 tasks being created simultaneously with a workflow, but it was easy enough just to use 4 "create tasks" blocks and go with it. Thanks for the input...

If you end up going with a workflow or script I'd like to know. This is the type of stuff I don't have to reinvent or rethink if it comes up for me 😄

I am going to use a workflow. Once I played around with it, I was able to create 4 tasks like I was trying to do with a record producer. Basically I will come out of my "gathering information" block and branch out into 4 "create tasks" blocks. I don't have it 100% yet, but I will be happy to send a screenshot once I have it right.
