03/01/2021, 9:17 PMHi, Is there a way to split a single asset(quantity 10 and an asset that is already in use) into multiple assets? If yes please let me know. I know we can split new assets when proposing a new asset and standard split process (FAM->Assets->Asset Split) but I am looking for splitting an existing asset into multiple assets at one shot. Thanks in advance for your help!

03/01/2021, 9:57 PMThanks, Kevin. I agree with you but, our users don’t want to split it separately 9 times. I am looking for a custom solution if anyone from community might have implemented. Thanks again for your response!
