How do I deselect an active cell when clicking on an image to run a script?

Question

I have a spreadsheet-bound script that is invoked by clicking an image in the spreadsheet. I\'ve found that the script can be blocked if a cell that it needs to modify is active

Answer 1

I had the same problems, both the initial one and with the solution proposed by Mogsdad.

I resolved it the following way:

Before running any of the script, the first three lines get a different sheet opened and the spreadsheet gets flushed:

var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  spreadsheet.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheetByName('DIFFERENT SHEET NAME'), true);
  SpreadsheetApp.flush();

The rest of the script follows.

Then at the end of the script, I reopen the initial sheet with a simple:

spreadsheet.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheetByName('ORIGINAL SHEET NAME'), true);
