The "Create relations" step is responsible for creating relations between two entities based on meta data from a Relation form step.
The output from a Relation form step can be used as step input for the Create relations step. Alternatively, relation data can be configured directly on the Create relations step to create relations without the need of a Relation form. This is useful e.g., if the relation to create is always a static configuration.
The following image shows the settings for the Create relations step:
