Google Web App Script Daily Update for Cell

Question

Hello in my below link i have a user form were i can add, edit and delete a user.

Spreadsheet Link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tyz_3WeEkmY4WX8Xvx38nkLow8hcbCjPMLS1-NiPFgo/edit?usp=sharing

Dev Link https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbxIT4fJPNyD5U2CKFzWCSho0tR2uuczq1hevzHawtg/dev

So now all the above fields like name, email, date of birth will be saved and can be re-edited.

I added 2 more column below Phone Number & Country Daily Updates and Daily Logs

Now when i edit a user and update today's activity in Daily Updates like Something added on - 1-jan-2021 Now it should clear field in Daily Updates and should be updated in Daily Logs field . If i update Something added on 2-jan-2021 in Daily Updates again it should be cleared and appear in Daily Logs field as previous and current

Something added on - 1-jan-2021

Something added on 2-jan-2021

So my goal is display all changes done to Daily Updates field should be appear in Daily Logs field as read only this can't be edited.

Answer 1

I believe your goal is as follows.

• When the value is loaded by editing data from "Contact Details Database" and inputting the value to "Daily Updates" and clicking "Submit" button, you want to save the value to "Daily Logs" and want to clear "Daily Updates".

In this case, how about the following modification?

Modified script:

In this case, please modify the function updateData in Google Apps Script side as follows.

From:

function updateData(values, spreadsheetId, range) {
  var valueRange = Sheets.newValueRange();
  valueRange.values = values;
  var result = Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.update(valueRange, spreadsheetId, range, { valueInputOption: "RAW" });}

To:

function updateData(values, spreadsheetId, range) {
  var len = values[0].length;
  values[0][len - 1] = values[0][len - 1] ? `${values[0][len - 1]}\n${values[0][len - 2]}` : values[0][len - 2];
  values[0][len - 2] = "";

  var valueRange = Sheets.newValueRange();
  valueRange.values = values;
  var result = Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.update(valueRange, spreadsheetId, range, { valueInputOption: "RAW" });
}

• By this modification, when the data is updated, the value of "Daily Updates" is saved to "Daily Logs" as the additional value and "Daily Updates" is cleared.

Note:

• From Daily Logs field as read only this can't be edited. , in this case, please put readonly="readonly" to the textarea tag of "Daily Logs".

From the following reply,

IF i add more fields like Last name, job field, etc,,, i keep adding extra columns in spreadsheet.

In this case, how aobut using the column number as follows?

To:

function updateData(values, spreadsheetId, range) {
  var colDailyChanges = 8; // Column "H"
  var colDailyLogs = 9; // Column "I"
  values[0][colDailyLogs - 1] = values[0][colDailyLogs - 1] ? `${values[0][colDailyLogs - 1]}\n${values[0][colDailyChanges - 1]}` : values[0][colDailyChanges - 1];
  values[0][colDailyChanges - 1] = "";

  var valueRange = Sheets.newValueRange();
  valueRange.values = values;
  var result = Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.update(valueRange, spreadsheetId, range, { valueInputOption: "RAW" });
}
