Sheets: write cells

Automatically write cells on docs.google.com. Write a 2D block of values into one tab of a Google Spreadsheet, top-left at startCell, like the Sheets API: null leaves a cell as it is, "" clears it, anything else replaces it as if typed (dropdown rules and formatting stay; clearing a dropdown cell removes its dropdown). Returns range, rows, cols, saved once every edit is saved. A value the sheet refuses (data validation, outside the grid) stops the run with the sheet's own message. Values are parsed per the spreadsheet locale ("1.5" in a FR sheet becomes 1 May; prefix ' to force text); leading = enters a formula; needs edit rights.

Input

values required

2D row-major block, as in the Sheets API: null leaves the cell as it is, "" clears it, anything else replaces it as if typed. "=..." enters a formula.

spreadsheetId required

Spreadsheet id or any full docs.google.com spreadsheet URL

gid optional

Tab gid (from sheets_list_tabs). Default 0.

Default: 0
startCell optional

Top-left cell in A1 notation, e.g. "B2". Default "A1".

Default: "A1"

Output

cols required
rows required
range required

A1 range the block covers

saved required

true once the document status reads saved, i.e. every edit is on the server

Required: spreadsheetId, values. Optional: gid, startCell.
It returns cols, rows, range, saved.
Yes. It acts as you on docs.google.com: on your own Chrome it reuses your session, and on a Reduck-hosted browser it loads the docs.google.com cookies saved by the Reduck extension.
It makes changes on docs.google.com, like sending, posting, booking or buying something.

Add a tab to a Google Spreadsheet, optionally naming it in the same pass. Returns the new tab's gid and final name. Waits for the editor's save before resolving; needs edit rights.

Sheets: delete tab

Delete one tab of a Google Spreadsheet by gid. Returns deletedGid and remainingTabs (names left). The sheet's data goes with it (recover via Undo / Drive history); an unknown gid throws rather than risk deleting the wrong sheet; needs edit rights.
