How can I combine multiple onEdit functions in Google Sheets to avoid name conflicts?

Combining Two onEdit Trigger Functions into One

Introduction

When working with Google Sheets scripts, it's possible to encounter situations where you have multiple onEdit functions that need to be executed. However, as mentioned in the original question, having two onEdit functions with conflicting names can lead to issues. This article aims to provide a solution by merging these functions into a single onEdit function.

Combining the Functions

To merge the two onEdit functions, you can simply rename the first function to onEdit1 and the second function to onEdit2. Then, create a new function named onEdit that passes the e parameter to both onEdit1 and onEdit2:

<code class="javascript">function onEdit(e) {
  onEdit1(e);
  onEdit2(e);
}</code>

This approach ensures that both functions are triggered when an edit occurs, while avoiding the name conflict.

Example Code

Using the code provided in the original question:

<code class="javascript">function onEdit1(e) { // Dependent Dropdown list
  // ...
}

function onEdit2(e) { // addRow by checkboxes
  // ...
}

function onEdit(e) {
  onEdit1(e);
  onEdit2(e);
}
</code>
