AppleScript creation for use on Numbers

Good evening guys, I would need an Apple script to paste on Automator to create a quick action that allows me, on Numbers, to transform the formula present on a cell, in text format in that same cell. so the script must perform these steps:

1) double click on the cell

2) press the function symbol on the left

3) once you open that drop-down menu you have to select on "convert formula to text in cell).

A few months ago you already helped me with the opposite script to this that I am asking now, namely the text in the cell to be converted into an active formula And you succeeded, so now I am asking exactly the opposite, thank you. please guys

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.6
