Is it okay to edit built-in doctypes scripts or we should create a copy and then edit in it?
More details will helpful.
You can use

You can edit the doctypes and make the customization but then you will have to maintain the repo for the frappe/erpnext but you might get the conflicts while updating or upgrading.
A better option would be to use the Custom Script.

But how can we write python part in custom scripts?
I need to get data from other doctypes for which we need to edit doctype.py and doctype.js files in the server as shown in the scripting tutorial by erpnext.
Also if I add some extra custom fields to the built-in doctypes, will they also create conflicts while updating or upgrading? Or they will be overwritten?
