How do you use multiple scripts in the same spreadsheet? - database

Question

I have a spreadsheet that tracks legal cases from start to finish. In that spreadsheet I used a script to create dependent dropdown menus on multiple rows (I'll share the script at the end). The main dropdown menu tells me what Department the case is in. The Departments are Transcription; Doctor; Scheduling; Records; QA; and Billing.
I also have a script that is supposed to moves an entire row of data to a separate tab labeled Billing when the department dropdown menu is set to Billing. I had this script working before I made the dependent dropdown menus and was just using data validation to create my dropdown menu.
Both of these scripts work separately but when I try to use them together the dependent dropdown menus quit working and when the department is set to Billing that row disappears like its supposed to except it doesn't show up on the Billing tab like its supposed to. I have no idea where it goes.
Can someone please tell me how to get both scripts to work at the same time? And, why the row of data disappears when the department is set to Billing but doesn't go to the Billing tab?
Dependent Dropdown Menu Script
var ws = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Database");
var wsOptions = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("options");
var options = wsOptions.getRange(2,1,wsOptions.getLastRow()-1,2).getValues();
function myFunction() {
var list = ["a","b","c","f"];
var cell = ws.getRange("J2");
applyValidationToCell(list,cell);
}
function onEdit(event){
var activeCell = event.range;
var value = activeCell.getValue();
var row = activeCell.getRow();
var column = activeCell.getColumn();
var wsName = activeCell.getSheet().getName();
if(wsName == "Database" && column === 5 && row > 1){
if(value === ""){
ws.getRange(row,10).clearContent();
ws.getRange(row,10).clearValidations();
} else{
ws.getRange(row,10).clearContent();
var filteredOptions = options.filter(function(options){ return options[0] === value });
var listToApply = filteredOptions.map(function(options){ return options[1] });
Logger.log(listToApply);
var cell = ws.getRange(row,10);
applyValidationToCell(listToApply,cell);
}
}
}
function applyValidationToCell(list,cell){
var rule = SpreadsheetApp
.newDataValidation()
.requireValueInList(list)
.setAllowInvalid(false)
.build();
cell.setDataValidation(rule);
}
Billing Script
var ws = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Database");
var wsOptions = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("options");
var options = wsOptions.getRange(2, 1,wsOptions.getLastRow()-1,2).getValues();
function myFunction() {
var list = ["a","b","g"];
var cell = ws.getRange("K2");
applyValidationToCell(list,cell);
}
function onEdit(e){
var activeCell = e.range;
var val = activeCell.getValue();
var r = activeCell.getRow();
var c = activeCell.getColumn();
var wsName = activeCell.getSheet().getName();
if(wsName == "Database" && c === 5 && r > 1){
var filteredOptions = options.filter(function(o){return o[0] === val});
var listToApply = filteredOptions.map(function(o){ return o[1]});
console.log(listToApply);
var cell = ws.getRange(r, 10);
applyValidationToCell(listToApply,cell);
}
}
function applyValidationToCell(list,cell){
var rule = SpreadsheetApp
.newDataValidation()
.requireValueInList(list)
.setAllowInvalid(false)
.build();
cell.setDataValidation(rule);
}
function onEdit(e) {
const src = e.source.getActiveSheet();
const r = e.range;
if (r.columnStart != 5|| r.rowStart == 2 || e.value == src.getName()) return;
const dest = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(e.value);
src.getRange(r.rowStart,1,1,30).moveTo(dest.getRange(dest.getLastRow()+1,1,1,30));
src.deleteRow(r.rowStart);
}

All functions have to have a unique name and all functions have access to all sheets. onedit triggers are generated on every user edit and it's up to the onEdit function to route edits from the appropriate sheets using information gathered from the event object. Note: Sheet Name = e.range.getSheet().getName() where e is populated by the event object in the function declaration function onEdit(e) {}
The if statement below limits access to edits that occur on Sheet name "Database" and e.range.columnStart == 5 and rows greater than one
if(wsName == "Database" && column === 5 && row > 1){
if(value === ""){
ws.getRange(row,10).clearContent();
ws.getRange(row,10).clearValidations();
} else{
ws.getRange(row,10).clearContent();
var filteredOptions = options.filter(function(options){ return options[0] === value });
var listToApply = filteredOptions.map(function(options){ return options[1] });
Logger.log(listToApply);
var cell = ws.getRange(row,10);
applyValidationToCell(listToApply,cell);
}
}
if you require actions from other sheets then you must add more if statements or other conditional logic to route the appropriate edit traffic to the the correct processing statements.
