create 1 or multiple records from a related list / flow question

Here is my requirement: check 1 or multiple records on a custom object's related list and from there, create 1 or multiple new records, on a different custom object.

1. Object A, select 1 or multiple records from Object B related list
2. from these selected Object B records, create 1 or multiple new records on Object C 

I currently have a screen flow which gets Object B records, utilizes a data table, loops and creates new record. however, the flow isn't working exactly how it should. Do you have any solutions or reccomendations?

used a screen flow with a data table that displays related list records with a specific status which creates multiple records on separate custom object based on selected records.

@vinay I did in fact review each resource / link -- in reference to the first link, I'm not exactly mass updating rather needing to select multiple records from a related list or list view and create multiple records from each on a different object. the second link was a bit tough to decipher related to the language barrier (not talking about code, talking about french) and the third link addressed what I was thinking about but did not quite provide enough sufficient info. will see what solution I can find. currently, Im utilizing a record triggered flow however it does not resolve being able to do the following:

-inline edit
-select multiple records and create new records from selected
