Hi, I have a question about SuiteCRM extensions. If a custom extension is created for SuiteCRM, could there be issues with its installation when a new SuiteCRM update is released? Is there a way to make sure the extension works smoothly across different versions without causing any errors? Any advice or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You need to check compatibility matrix:
SuiteCRM 8.x and onwards use Angular in the front end.
If you’re getting extension from SuiteCRM store, then they mention compatibility versions.
If your extensions are upgrade-safe they will (generally speaking) work well through upgrades.
If you follow the Documentation and understand the architecture, your extensions should be upgrade-safe.
The short version of the story is: don’t change files in the core directories, only in the “custom” or “extensions” directories.
If you specify which versions of SuiteCRM you’re targeting, it’s easier to give advice.
