Best Practice - "Touching" Records
I can see that a schedule script would be effective for updating a batch of records.
That said, we have a case where beforeSubmit is performing business logic to set values on the item record. The logic is pulling information from the preferred location. As an example, we pull the "shipping days" for the preferred location.
We need to change the "shipping days" on the location record and have it update the item. Users (not admins) need to be able to execute this update. Since they are users, they cannot invoke a scheduled script. They just cannot wait for the next schedule run. :-(
