Create Multiple Records from a checklist form

Hi all.
I have a very complex base with a job table and a location data table.
I created a separate service report table with a form where i can inspect a room and use a checklist to select all the things which need attention as well as all the things that are done.

I tried to make automations to create a job for each selection on the checklist, however i ran out of automations (is that a thing? perhaps i read the message wrong)

So instead i made a single automation with conditional actions that would create separate records for each condition (or so i thought) but if one preceding condition on the list is not met, then all the proceeding actions will not be triggered even if their conditions would otherwise be triggered.

Am i approaching this wrong?
Surely there is a way to branch actions?
Or maybe I could make a separate base and sync the jobs across manually?

You don’t need to specify the tags, simply have 1x create record, and within there, add the value from the first step in a new tag or name field in the other table.
