# Rule action: Split items
**Used for:** splitting items that're in a list into separate items.
**Used in:** "THEN"-statements and "ELSE"-statements.
This rule does the exact opposite of the "group items" rule. Select a field of an item that contains a list (for example, a list of available sizes) and create separate items for each element in that list. An item with a list of 5 sizes will be transformed into 5 products that are identical except for the field containing the size.
As shown below, the rule is straightforward to set up. Just make sure the chosen field (e.g. "size") actually contains a list of values — otherwise the rule will not work.
{% hint style="info" %}
Do you want to split your items, but your values are not in a list yet? If you have different values for a field, but instead of a list it's just text, you can use our ["split text to list" rule](/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/how-to-use-actions-then-in-rules/rule-action-split-text-to-list.md) to create a list inside that field.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/how-to-use-actions-then-in-rules/rule-action-split-items.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
