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

Unfortunately, when I tried this, I received this error message

You need to modify the script to make sure that you get a valid record producer. This worked for me:

var gr = new GlideRecord("sc_cat_item"); 
gr.get("YOUR SYS ID"); 
gr.sys_class_name="sc_cat_item_producer"; 
gr.setValue('request_method' ,''); 
gr.setValue('no_cart_v2', false); 
gr.setValue('no_delivery_time_v2', false); 
gr.setValue('no_quantity_v2', false); 
gr.setWorkflow(false); 
gr.update();
