Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a versioned script management (VSM) system that enables a client instance to implement versioned script management. A versioned scripts table includes one or more fields storing version information for each script. The version information tracks platform release information (e.g., family, patch, and/or hotfix release version information) of each script, while also tracking client-specific versions of these scripts that have been modified after release. The VSM system includes instructions to create a modified version of an existing script and to perform a platform release update of platform scripts without overwriting or changing the behavior of client-modified versions of these scripts. As such, the VSM system enables script modifications, as part of client customization and/or platform updates, while avoiding the possibility of introducing regressions as a result of these modifications.
