Create Sub-Task Based on Custom Field Checkbox

Question

I am trying to create sub-tasks based on custom field checkboxes and need a little bit of guidance on how to setup the post-function and writing the condition.

I have created a custom field called "SAP Access?" with 3 checkbox options, BI/PI/ECP, I'd like to create sub-tasks on the condition that the checkboxes are ticked and auto-assign them.

There are post-task functions written that pre-date me but I have tried to copy the formatting and tailored it. Can I get some feedback on whether below is correctly written?

//Get SAP Access checkbox value
def sapaccesscustomFieldObject = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("SAP Access?")

//get all values of the custom field
def sapaccesscustomFieldValues = sapaccesscustomFieldObject.getValue(parentIssues)

//loop through values and create sub tasks
sapaccesscustomFieldValues.each { LazyLoadedOption it ->
    def sapaccessValue = it.getValue()
    switch (sapaccessValue){
       case "SAP BI":
           assigneIdList.add("User1")
           summariesList.add("SAP BI access for new hire")
           descriptionList.add("SAP BI access required")
           break
       case "SAP PI":
           assigneIdList.add("User2")
           summariesList.add("SAP PI access for new hire")
           descriptionList.add("SAP PI access required")
           break
       case "SAP ECP":
           assigneIdList.add("User3")
           summariesList.add("SAP ECP access for new hire")
           descriptionList.add("SAP ECP access required")
           break
    }
}
