Dear Experts,
 
I have added New form in canvas app bind to SharePoint list which has one choice column with multiselect option.
If user selected multiple options in combo box i want to create separate items in SharePoint list without Patch function.
 
Please advise.

    Create Sharepoint List Items based on multiselect options
    SubmitForm updates or creates one record. Patch is easy to use to create records.
    I am still not understanding your use case. Are you going to create duplicate records with the only difference between the two records is a column where the value is red in one and green in the other? Are these records created from an existing record or are the records being created from data being entered in a form?

    Create Sharepoint List Items based on multiselect options
    what I was saying before should work for that 
    If you point it at a copy of your list and go there then run an automated flow on that list when a new item is created.
    Then have a condition using the dynamic content of your choice field (or depending on what it is write it to a variable first and use that instead) and use contains for the condition
    You can then create multiple items in you actual list with all the same data and attachments changing what need to be changed for each instance 
    i.e. 
    if colour contains Red create item in actual list, nothing on the false option
    If colour contains Green Create item in actual list, nothing on the false option

    I am trying to create items based on selected options, for example If user selected Red,Green then two items need to be created in SP List.
    I have many fields and also attachment, so using patch will not easy. so i want to use submitform.

    What exactly are you trying to do? 
    If the user selects multiple options in the combo box what do you want to do with the selected options?
    After the record has been saved with the selected items do you want to generate new records based on the selected items?

    Create Sharepoint List Items based on multiselect options
    Point your form not at the target list but at a copy of it 
    Then when an item is created in the copy list use power automate to create items in your actual list 
    You can use control function to create separate items based on Combo box.

    There isn't a way to do that using a Form in a canvas app. You have to use patch.
