How to create multiple tasks in SharePoint workflow?
When you create multiple tasks in a SharePoint workflow, you must first create a custom activity that encapsulates creating and managing a single task. Then you use the activity in the workflow. You can create custom activities directly in the workflow project in which you intend to use them.
In addition, the workflow leverages a custom approval field on the workflow task. Instead of the standard Note Stated or Completed or In Progress text contained in the built-in Status field, the task adds a Business Approval field containing either I Approve or I Do NOT Approve.

Assuming that you have created a SharePoint Add-In and created a custom list -“TimeOffRequestList” (as in this example), we have to add a new Site Column item to store custom task outcomes. Edit the site column’s Elements.xml to change the data type to “ OutcomeChoice “.
