I want to create multiple items in another list based on the user selection choice in the parent list. how to achieve this?

List 1 columns: title (single line of text), Reviewers (multiple choice checkbox values R1,R2,R3,etc)

List 2 columns: title (single line of text), list1title lookup, Reviewer(user/group), Comments(multiline text box)

based on the user choice selected in list1 those many items should be created in list2.

you will have to create a list workflow on List1 that will (eg) start on item creation.

within workflow, you will have to split all the reviewers using regular expression action into a collection of reviewers.

then you will have to use For each action to iterate through the collection, and within the loop use create item action to create items in List2.
