Hello Gurus,

I'm trying to transform customer to vendor record using the record.transform API in the UserEvent script, here is my code snippet:

        const afterSubmit = (scriptContext) => {
            if(
                scriptContext.type === scriptContext.UserEventType.CREATE
                ||
                scriptContext.type === scriptContext.UserEventType.EDIT
            ) {

                    try {
                        const vendorRec = record.transform({
                            fromType: record.Type.CUSTOMER,
                            fromId: scriptContext.newRecord.id,
                            toType: record.Type.VENDOR
                        });

                        vendorRec.save();
                    } catch (e) {
                        log.debug({
                            title: 'Customer to Vendor UE',
                            details: `Unable to convert customer to vendor ${e.message}`
                        });
                    }
                
            }


        }

But I'm getting in the script execution log:

Unable to convert customer to vendor: You may only change the name from the CustJob version of this record.

In the ideal situation I want to create the new vendor and the relationship between the customer and the vendor without changing anything.

Thanks!
