Convert Incidents to Requests

Hello Community members,

 

We have a requirement to convert RITMs to INC (as we have more requests than INC in our organisations).. I understand the below article provides a solution for INC to RITMs below:

 

Convert an RITM to an Incident - ServiceNow Community

 

Has anyone converted INC to Requests?

Hi @AbbasP 

 

We can't convert Inc to Request, but we can create a request from incident.

The Best Practice - Incident Resolution Workflow plugin (com.snc.bestpractice.incident) should be active for creating a request from an incident. To associate a parent incident with the request created for a record producer, the catalog_admin should add the following script in the script block of the record incident.
