//var now_GR = new GlideRecord('cat_item');
//now_GR.setValue('short_description', 'The third floor printer is broken'); //now_GR.setNewGuidValue('eb4636ca6f6d31005be8883e6b3ee333');
//now_GR.insert();
//gs.info(now_GR.getValue('sys_id'));

then in that case please check the code in OOB Copy UI action and see if you can set the sysId from script

Hi @Sachin Gavhane ,

Once you open catalog item form from 'maintain items' there is button 'Copy' once you click it will create a copy of item with new sys id.

if my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as accepted solution and give a thumb up.
