Is it possible to change the "Extends table" setting of a table that has already been created?

I have a table that was created by extending a table.
Is it possible to change the extended table to a different table?
In other words, is it possible to change the "Extends table" setting of a table that has already been created?

I don't think it is possible, but if there is a way, please let me know.

Hi KS,

I tried using back ground scripts , seems not possible. i got an error saying below.

 

'Operation against file 'sys_db_object' was aborted by Business Rule 'Table Field Validation^5865a88f87b00110b51c873d0ebb35d6'. Business Rule Stack:Table Field Validation
Background message, type:error, message: Cannot change what a table extends after it is created '

 

Regards,

Hari

 

 

I did not get any error when I ran it.
Could you please share the code of the script you ran?

Hi ,

I dont think servicenow allows to change the extend table option after table creation of the table.
