In a Scheduled Script Execution, can you access the current or previous objects in the script portion?

In a Scheduled Script Execution, you cannot access the current or previous objects. This is because a Scheduled Script Execution runs independently and does not operate within the context of a specific record like other business rules or scripts that are triggered by user actions.

Scheduled Script Executions are designed to perform tasks at defined intervals or times, meaning they don't have the "current" record or "previous" record context available to them as you would find in client scripts or other server-side scripts that execute in response to specific record manipulations. Therefore, the nature of the Scheduled Script Execution means it has a standalone execution scope, and any reference to current or previous record data must be explicitly retrieved based on queries or conditions set within that script.

In this case, the misinterpretation of scheduled scripts might lead some to think that these contexts are accessible, but in truth, access is strictly based on the script logic and retrieval methods you implement, rather than any implicit current or previous record references.
