有没有办法制作电子表格文件的多个副本并在 Google Apps Script 中为每个文件选择名称

Question

So, as of now, I have the below function that definitely works to make as many copies of a Google Sheets as possible. For ex, below will make 3 copies of a Google Sheets (in reality, I'll want to make 40+ copies).

What I'm having trouble with is finding a way to automatically change their file names, so that it's each person's name and then " - System" for each copy.

This is what I currently have:

    function copyDocs() {
        for(i=0; i<3; i++){
        var drive=DriveApp.getFileById('SheetsID');
        drive.makeCopy();
  }
}

I'd want to do something like this:

var people = Array("Johnson Henry", "Person Last", "Tierra Smith")

function copyDocs() {
    for(i=0; i<3; i++){ 
    var drive=DriveApp.getFileById('SheetsID');
    drive.makeCopy(people[i] & " - System");
  }
}

Do any of you know of a way to modify my code to do this? Note that I'm a beginner at Apps Script, so please forgive my lack of knowledge here.

Answer 1

You can do that in a more efficient way.

You can use forEach() to iterate through the elements of the people array and then use template literals to name the files accordingly:

function copyDocs() { 
  
  const drive=DriveApp.getFileById('SpreadsheetID');
  const people = ["Johnson Henry", "Person Last", "Tierra Smith"];
 
  people.forEach(person=>{
    var copy = drive.makeCopy( `${person} - System`)
    var copySpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(copy.getId());
    var copySheet = copySpreadsheet.getSheets()[0];
    copySheet.getRange('B2').setValue(person);
});
}
