How to set a property (say Phase Angle of Acceleration load) from Constant to Tabular?

I am trying to populate that Freq vs Phase angle data via Mechanical scripting, but I get the error "Changing definition type to Discrete is not supported."

It seems to be related to changing the type from Constant to Tabular as shown below.

How to fix this?

    You can use context_menu import along with some jscript to sort this issue. Please check the below script, which is for "Phase Angle" and this property name is an input in the code.

    Please activate the Acceleration object (in my case) and run the below script in Mechanical Scripting Console.

    a = Tree.FirstActiveObject

cmd="""
ds=DS;
wb=WB;
var oScript = DS.Script;
var ListView=DS.Script.lv;
var Load = ds.Tree.FirstActiveObject;
ListView.SelectItem("Phase Angle");
"""
ExtAPI.Application.ScriptByName('jscript').ExecuteCommand(cmd)
import context_menu
context_menu.DoChangeEDObjectSelection(ExtAPI,'_EnggData_Table')

phi = [3,5,8]
freq = [2,6,11]
a.PhaseAngle.Inputs[0].DiscreteValues = [Quantity(i,"Hz") for i in freq]
a.PhaseAngle.Output.DiscreteValues = [Quantity(i,"deg") for i in phi]
