Cause

This is due to using the wrong API for a record producer.

Resolution

Use below API instead:

 

var record = new sn_sc.CatItem('3f1dd0320a0a0b99000a53f7604a2ef9'); 
var requestInc = 
{ 
'sysparm_id': '3f1dd0320a0a0b99000a53f7604a2ef9', 
'variables':{ 
'urgency': '1', 
'comments': 'SNC test INT', 
} 
}; 
var recordDetails = record.submitProducer(requestInc);
