I have a Sharepoint list with a custom column of type People and Group (allow multiple).Now whenever I enter multiple values in this field, then on the Item added event we need to create individual tasks(create new item with assigned to field populated) for each of these users.

enter image description here

Would like to know how do i extract the individual email address/user ids in the workflow and assign them the tasks.

enter image description here

Whenever i log the above to history list, it get the values in the log correctly.

The issue is that whenever I use a single person, its assigned correctly but if I enter multiple users then it assigns only to the first user

I am using the SPD 2013 and the environment is Office 365(SharePoint online). I can do it via javascript (more dev efforts) or via Remote event receivers(more expensive) but would like to try it via Workflow. If its not possible I would also like to know if I can try it via Flow ?

Have checked this link - SPD workflow to parse string but didnt understand much
