Hi @Research 

1st , thing there is noting called Child Request , but it is Req Item.

2. The process of creating Req is always catalog / item.

3. What is the use case of this req.

To understand the child concept, have a look in to Child Incident UI action and incident properties.

Hi @Dr Atul G- LNG  Thanks for suggestion
we have a custom request table, so  we want to create internal ticket which is request
Like related request is option instead of tasks
Can you guide me steps to create it

Thanks in advance

Hi @Research 

we have a custom request table, so  we want to create internal ticket which is request

Atul: Got the point. 
Like related requests is option instead of tasks

Atul: It is a good customization, as you need to create a UI action and write the code to copy the existing Req. Pleae refer to Create Child Incident, on the incident table to get an idea.
Can you guide me steps to create it

Hi @Research You can use the below UI Action script as sample. set the form context menu to true to appear UI action under context menu

var newRecord = new GlideRecord("sc_request"); //table where you want to create request

newRecord.initialize();

newRecord.setValue("parent", current.getValue("sys_id")); // pass the sysid to request table to keep as reference

if(!gs.nil(current.requested_for))

    newRecord.setValue("requested_for", current.getValue("requested_for")); // map the fields

if(!gs.nil(current.short_description))

    newRecord.setValue("short_description", current.getValue("short_description"));// map the fields

if(!gs.nil(current.description))

    newRecord.setValue("description", current.getValue("description"));// map the fields

action.openGlideRecord(newRecord);// redirects to request record.
