+# CloneParentRecords.js
+
+This background script copies records from a parent table into a child table in ServiceNow. It's intended to be run from the Scripts - Background module (or adapted into a Script Include / scheduled job).
+
+## Purpose
+
+The script iterates parent records that match a query and creates corresponding records in a child table. Optionally it preserves a reference to the parent record by storing the parent's `sys_id` on the child record.
+
+## Configuration (what to edit)
+Open `CloneParentRecords.js` and update these values to match your instance:
+
+- `x_parent_table` – change to your parent table name (e.g. `incident`).
+- `your Query` – replace with a Glide encoded query or condition (e.g. `active=true^priority=1`).
+- `x_child_table` – change to your child table name.
+- Field mappings – modify the lines that copy fields (`short_description`, `description`, etc.) to match the fields you want to clone.
+- `childGR.parent` – change this to the child-side reference field name if different.
+
+## How to run
+
+1. In your ServiceNow instance go to **System Definition > Scripts - Background**.
+2. Paste the script content from `CloneParentRecords.js` into the editor.
+3. Test first on a limited dataset by changing the query to return a small set (or by using `parentGR.setLimit(n)` before `query()` if appropriate).
+4. Click **Run script**.
+
+Alternatively, convert the logic into a Script Include and call it from a Scheduled Job for repeatable, controlled execution.
+
+## Safety & performance notes
+
+- Always run in a sub-production (development or test) instance first.
+- If the parent table contains many records, run in batches. Large transactions can time out or lock tables.
+- Consider adding `parentGR.setLimit(1000)` or using ranges (for example, by sys_created_on or sys_id ranges) to process data in chunks.
+- Use `gs.info()` for progress logging. For very large operations, consider using an asynchronous approach (Scheduled Jobs, Event-driven, or Import Set transform).
+- Ensure the user running the script has write access to the child table fields being created.
+
+## Error handling suggestions
+
+- Wrap critical operations with try/catch in a Script Include version and log errors to a custom table or `syslog`.
+- Validate required fields before `insert()` to avoid runtime field validation errors.
+
+## Example modifications
+
+- To avoid copying every record, change the query to: `parentGR.addQuery('active', true);` or `parentGR.addEncodedQuery('active=true^priority=1');`
+- To map additional fields: `childGR.u_custom = parentGR.u_custom;` (replace `u_custom` with your field names).
