Hi Aryan,

There are a lot but you can use these 5

1. Variable names should be clear and specific so that you have better understanding while writing code

2. While creating a after BR, don't use current.update() as it will create a recurssive action 

3. Don't need to use current.update() in before BR as it will automatically save the record. If you use current.update() it will save your record twice

4. Try to use Script include as much as possible for better usability of the code

5. Use system properties instead of hardcoding sysid or any value

If this is helpful for you, please mark it as accepted solution. 

Thanks,

Yashraj
