This is my first post and I have searched for days and can not find a solution for this problem.
I have a custom menu in sheets that pops up a .showModalDialog html. A user fills that out with information and clicks submit. This runs a function in the back end that creates folders/files and adds the user data to various sheets etc.
All this is working I have a Ui.alert that I am using to check the data entered is correct and for some reason the function is being trigger twice and the UI.alert is popping up again as a result. I have a fail safe that checks if one of the fields exists so it doesn't write again but the pop up is a really bad user experience.
Any help would be much appreciated. Function to create custom menu:
function onOpen() {
SpreadsheetApp.getUi()
.createMenu('TOA - Menu')
.addItem('Add New Account', 'addAccount')
.addItem('Update Brand', 'updateBrand')
.addItem('Go Live', 'goLive')
.addToUi();
}
Function to bring up form:
function addAccount() {
const html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('newAccount')
.setTitle('Add New Account')
.setWidth(1000)
.setHeight(800);;
SpreadsheetApp.getUi()
.showModalDialog(html, 'Add New Account');
}
Code for the form:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<base target="_top">
<style>
#itemDisplay {
display: none;
}
#modDisplay {
display: none;
}
#priceDisplay {
display: none;
}
#businessTypeDisplay {
display: none;
}
</style>
</head>

try {
const brandColumn = ss.getRange('D:D');
const brandValues = brandColumn.getValues();

I know that multiple triggers have been a known issue as per posts from Cooper and others here and here but I can't seem to be able to adopt them for my solution.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
