So to give you some context in Google Drive I have a “Clients” folder which has active clients I am currently working with and inside this folder is also an “Archive” folder. When I get done with a client I move their folder into the Archive folder so its out of sight out of mind unless I need it for some reason.

I’m basically trying to replicate this kind of functionality.

In either case I decided to move forward with the “a script which a) moves the entity to another “Archive” space and b) re-establishes the relationships.” approach. A simplified version of how I am doing this is shared here:

Here is my script equivalent of the Convert to feature but with the ability to map to dissimilarly named fields. const fibery = context.getService("fibery"); for (const entity of args.currentEntities) { await fibery.createEntity("Space B/Db Y", { "Person Name": entity["Name"], "Person Salary": entity["Salary"], }); await fibery.deleteEntity(entity.type, entity.id); }
