Copying Data from one Sheet to another using Check Boxes - google-apps-script

Question

I am trying to figure out a way to "automate" a task in google sheets. I have a data model that lists all the data on one sheet of all the 'hit percentages' of sports props. The data changes as games complete. I'd like to have check boxes(or something similar) next to the rows that when it's checked it copies that row and then adds it into a sheet called 'Logs" after the last row.
I put this sheet together as an example:

Answer 1

I believe your goal is as follows.
When you checked the checkbox of column "B" of "Changing Data" sheet, you want to copy the row to the next row of the last row of "Log" sheet.
In this case, how about the following modification? In this modification, in order to check whether the checkbox is checked, the simple trigger of OnEdit is used.
Sample script:
Please copy and paste the following script to the script editor of Spreadsheet and save the script. When you use this script, please check the checkbox of column "B" of "Changing Data" sheet. By this, the script is automatically run by the OnEdit trigger.
function onEdit(e) {
const srcSheetName = "Changing Data"; // This is from your sample Spreadsheet.
const dstSheetName = "Log"; // This is from your sample Spreadsheet.
const { range, source } = e;
const sheet = range.getSheet();
if (sheet.getSheetName() != srcSheetName || range.columnStart != 2 || !range.isChecked()) return;
const dstSheet = source.getSheetByName(dstSheetName);
range.offset(0, -1, 1, 2).copyTo(dstSheet.getRange(dstSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1));
}

Copy Row To Log Sheet
function onEdit(e) {
//e.source.toast("Entry");
const sh = e.range.getSheet();
if(sh.getName() == "Sheet0" && e.range.columnStart == 7 && e.range.rowStart > 1 && e.value == "TRUE") {
//e.source.toast("Gate1");
e.source.toast("Gate1");
const lsh = e.source.getSheetByName("Log");
const vs = sh.getRange(e.range.rowStart,1,1,sh.getLastColumn()).getValues();
lsh.getRange(lsh.getLastRow() + 1, 1,vs.length,vs[0].length).setValues(vs);
}
}

Alternative Solution
You can try this another implementation using appendRow() & getValue() methods.
This sample will only run the onEdit() function when column B check-boxes are selected on the Changing Data sheet. The function will only copy the text on Column A row that is adjacent to the selected checkbox.
Script
function onEdit(e) {
e.source.getActiveSheet().getName() == 'Changing Data' && e.range.getColumn() == 2 && e.value == "TRUE" ? e.source.getSheetByName('Log').appendRow([e.source.getSheetByName('Changing Data').getRange('A' + e.range.getRow()).getValue()]) : _ ;
}
Alternate Script if you want to include check-boxes to be also copied:
function onEdit(e) {
e.source.getActiveSheet().getName() == 'Changing Data' && e.range.getColumn() == 2 && e.value == "TRUE" ?
(e.source.getSheetByName('Log').appendRow([e.source.getSheetByName('Changing Data').getRange('A' + e.range.getRow()).getValue()]) ?
(e.source.getSheetByName('Changing Data').getRange('B' + e.range.getRow()).copyTo(e.source.getSheetByName('Log').getRange('B' + e.source.getSheetByName('Log').getLastRow()))) : _) : _;
}
