What are the guidelines for modifying OOB scripts?

My current understanding is that if you modify an out of box script, like a task Business Rule, the next system upgrades that touch those business rules will skip them because it detects user modifications to it.

If you duplicate the script and set the original to not active, that still shows a user being the one that last modified the script so will the upgrade still skip it? Does the upgrade actually check the code of the script to see if it matches the upgrades script? Also, what happens if you accidentally modify an OOB script? Is it ok to revert to a previous version and then the upgrade will still upgrade the script?

Hi Lee,



I believe the maintenance/update processes will not update an OOB object if you have customized it EXCEPT if you have simply inactivated it and made no other changes to it...   I'm fairly certain that's how it is supposed to work.
