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.

    This is on a Trigger from the "Project Tag" table.  So thought the Bulk Record Set would essentially perform the "loop" function for me?  Never used it before.

      If the trigger is on a parent record and you want to trigger a search of  children and create records for each child record returned in the search then yes a bulk record upsert would be perfect for your needs.
