Inputs

  • Two tables & 4 fields:
    • Source/Parent/Project (or similar) table, with a single select text field (name / title), and a multiple select field that has names of child/task (or similar) records you'd like to create in the second table.
    • Destination/Child/Task (or similar) table, with a single line text field (name / title) and a linked record field to table 1.

Outputs

  • The script will create 1 record for each multiple select option chosen for the Source record
