    Hi Sid Desh,

    You could create a on change event on your Two Options field with the following code(My regarding type is account):

    function addTaskOnChange(executionContext){
    	var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    	var optionValue = formContext.getAttribute("new_addtask").getValue();
    	var accountId = formContext.data.entity.getId().replace("{","").replace("}","");
    	if(optionValue){
    		var data = {};
    		data.subject = "My New Task";
    		data["regardingobjectid_account@odata.bind"] = "/accounts("   accountId   ")";
    		Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("task", data).then(
    			function success(result){
    				// refresh timeline
    				formContext.getControl("Timeline").refresh();
    				// do something
    			}, 
    			function fail(error){
    				console.log(error.message);
    			}
    		);
    	}
    }

    Result:

    Hi,

    You can achieve same using JavaScript and in JavaScript add condition to check the two option set field value if it is yes then run below code.

    // define the data 
    var data =
        {
            "subject": "Sample task",
            "description": "Some sample data",
            "regardingobjectid_opportunity@odata.bind":"/opportunities(GUID)"
        }
    
    // create account record
    Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("task", data).then(
        function success(result) {
            console.log("Task created with ID: "   result.id);
            // perform operations on record creation
        },
        function (error) {
            console.log(error.message);
            // handle error conditions
        }
    );

    When we set the regarding object id value then task will automatically appear in Timeline for respective entity as shown below:

    You can achieve same by using Workflow:
    In workflow tick the Field Change and Record Created property and add Check condition if two option set  field value is yes then create task as shown below:

    same functionality you can achieve through plugin as well as Power Automate.

    Thanks,

    Pradeep.
