+**Dynamic Catalog Task Generator**
+
+This Script Include provides a flexible, maintainable way to create one or more Service Catalog Tasks (sc_task) on a Request Item (sc_req_item). Instead of relying on complex, branching logic within a single Workflow or Flow, this script determines which tasks to create based on the value selected by the user in a single variable on the catalog form.
+
+
+**Centralizes Task Logic**: Keeps all task definitions (short descriptions, assignment groups, order) in one easy-to-read script.
+
+**Improves Maintainability**: You only update this single script when task requirements change, not a sprawling visual flow.
+
+**Increases Flow Reusability**: The core Flow/Workflow remains simple, focused only on calling this generator.
