Here are some suggestions for improving it:

1. Error Handling: Add more robust error handling to catch unexpected errors or failures during the execution of commands.
2. Comments: Add comments to explain the purpose of each section or function in the script.
3. Input Validation: Validate user input to ensure it meets expected criteria.
4. Consistency: Maintain consistent indentation and coding style throughout the script for better readability.
5. Use Variables Wisely: Instead of calling commands multiple times (e.g., echo "$line" | awk '{print $1}'), store the result in a variable and reuse it.
6. Avoid Unnecessary Commands: Minimize the use of unnecessary commands or piping by directly manipulating variables.

Here's an improved version of your script incorporating these suggestions:

#!/bin/bash`

# Function to request access to a resource
sdmreq() {
    local output
    output=$(sdm access catalog)

    local array=()

    if [[ $output =~ ^ID.*Name.*Healthy.*Type.*Authentication.*Access.*Tags ]]; then
        while IFS= read -r line; do
            local resource_id=$(awk '{print $1}' <<< "$line")
            local resource_name=$(awk '{print $2}' <<< "$line")
            array+=("$resource_name $resource_id")
        done <<< "$(tail -n +2 <<< "$output")"
    else
        echo "Error: Unexpected output format from 'sdm access catalog' command." >&2
        return 1
    fi

    local choice
    choice=$(gum choose "${array[@]}")

    if [ -z "$choice" ]; then
        return 1
    fi

    local resource_id
    resource_id=$(awk '{print $2}' <<< "$choice")

    local reason
    reason=$(gum input --value "I need access so that I can ")

    if [ -z "$reason" ]; then
        return 1
    fi

    if [ -z "$resource_id" ]; then
        echo "No resource selected"
        return 1
    fi

    sdm access to "$resource_id" --duration 2h --reason "$reason"
}

Please replace the comments with actual usage scenarios or integrate it into your script where appropriate. Also, make sure to test thoroughly after making changes.
