Is there a way to change a catalog item to a record producer

[Cupcake]

I created a catalog item, but after further conversation with the customer, this now needs to be a record producer.

Is there a way that I can change the catalog item to a record producer without loosing the work that I did already?

This is my first time creating a record producer.

Thanks,

Karen

Thanks!! 

So, the issue now is.... the new record producer is in a scoped application so it is not appearing in the dropdown to change the catalog item. 

I've tried converting the catalog variables and moving them over with no luck as well.

I just created a new record producer -gave it a diff name. Then went to variables and used Insert and Stay and when I did that I saved the variables with the record producer form catalog item name and that worked. I continued this on everything, even script and UI Policies.

Variables get moved but how to move developments from catalog item to Record producer?

Hey everyone I posted this question 3 years ago, but I found a way. You can run this script as a background script.

var gr = new GlideRecord("sc_cat_item"); gr.get("sys id of the catalog form that you want to change to a record producer"); gr.sys_class_name="sc_cat_item_producer"; gr.update();

Hope this is helpful to someone.

Thanks this helped.  I just had the same thing happen to me.  But instead of running a background script I just changed the "Class" of the maintain item from "Catalog Item" to "Record Producer"
