Bulk Record Sets in Pipelines

I would like to build a pipeline using the Bulk Record feature. My scenario is similar to the example here https://help.quickbase.com/pipelines/about_bulk_record%20sets.html?Highlight=bulk. I am not clear on the "Make Request" Step. Wondering if I can get additional details or if there a video available on this feature?

    Can you explain what you are trying to do?  Maybe you don't need that step.

      I have a "Project Tag" Parent Table allowing users to Group projects as needed.  I would like to create a new record in a Request table for each of these Child projects and thought I could use the Bulk Record set feature for this.

        Would this be running on a schedule or on a trigger?  If on a trigger and they are just getting added one by one then you don't need to use a bulk record set.

        If the trigger is some mass operation line an import or a grid edit, then a bulk import would be better to use.  But I don't think you need to use the Make Request Step.
