OOO business rules with current.update

[Arturo Balderas]

First time posting here, sorry if the forum is not the correct one.

My question is:

if best practices when it comes to working with business rule state that we should avoid using current.update(), why are there so many OOO business rules using it?

Sorry if this is a silly question but I'm just curious.

Hi there,

You will find a ton of out-of-box scripting etc. which doesn't follow nowadays best practices. ServiceNow won't update all of that, some of it will stay forever in your instance 😁

It should at least not happen for recent business rules. Unless... In some cases current.update() is valid though, though in general its a bad practice.
