Placing checkboxes in Google Sheets using Apps Script

Question

I know that checkbox is a relatively new feature in Google Sheets, so I\'m trying to find a way to automatically create checkboxes in cells.

So far, I haven\'t foun

Answer 1

Easy:

//There are two ways, using Range or using current cell or sheet or similar 
//First is using current cell
function VoF() {
  var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  spreadsheet.getCurrentCell().offset(1, 0, 499, 1).setDataValidation(SpreadsheetApp.newDataValidation()
  .setAllowInvalid(true)
  .setHelpText('TRUE or FALSE')
  .requireCheckbox() //if you customize this is possible that you dont get the boxes and the verification data could fail,so keep them standar with TRUE and FALSE
  .build());
};

//Second is using Spreedsheet ranges

function myFunction() {
  var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  spreadsheet.getRange('G1:G11').activate();
  spreadsheet.getRange('G1:G11').setDataValidation(SpreadsheetApp.newDataValidation()
  .setAllowInvalid(false)
  .requireCheckbox()
  .build());
};
