Trying to copy merged cells from one sheet to another - google-apps-script

Question

I have a script that creates a new file, names it and copies data from a template. The problem I am having is getting all of the formatting over such as merged cells. Here is the code I have so far.
function createNewSheet(e) {
const sh = e.range.getSheet();
var name = sh.getRange(e.range.rowStart, 1).getValue();
var crNew = SpreadsheetApp.create("Job Traveler-" + name);
var ssNew = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(crNew.getUrl()).getId();
importRange("1X4iOzc_shcOR8UM7OEM4F1-eR62YZmwKWyyEuu59Pf4","Job!A1:D", ssNew,"Sheet1!A1");
copiedFormat();
}
function importRange(sourceId,sourceRange,destinationID,destinationRangeStart){
const sourceSS = SpreadsheetApp.openById(sourceId);
const sourceRng = sourceSS.getRange(sourceRange);
const sourceVals = sourceRng.getValues();
// Get formatting data
const sourceFontStyle = sourceRng.getFontStyles();
const sourceFontWeight = sourceRng.getFontWeights();
const sourceFontBackgroundColor = sourceRng.getBackgrounds();
const destinationSS = SpreadsheetApp.openById(destinationID);
const destStartRange = destinationSS.getRange(destinationRangeStart);
const destSheet = destinationSS.getSheetByName(destStartRange.getSheet().getName());
destSheet.clear();
const destRange = destSheet.getRange(
destStartRange.getRow(),
destStartRange.getColumn(),
sourceVals.length,
sourceVals[0].length
);
destRange.setValues(sourceVals);
// Set formatting
destRange.setFontStyles(sourceFontStyle);
destRange.setFontWeights(sourceFontWeight);
destRange.setBackgrounds(sourceFontBackgroundColor);
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}

Description
I've only provided the addtional steps to duplicate merged cells from one range to another. I leave it to you to incorporate the relavent code to your script. I've included a debugging step 'merged.forEach()' which you can remove for production.
Script
function createNewSheet() {
try {
// in my case source and destination are the same spreadsheet but different sheets
// and I have made the ranges arbitrary
importRange("Sheet5","Sheet5!C6:L11","Sheet6","Sheet6!E11")
}
catch(err) {
console.log(err)
}
}
function importRange(sourceId,sourceRange,destinationID,destinationRangeStart) {
try {
var sourceSS = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sourceRng = sourceSS.getRange(sourceRange);
var sourceVals = sourceRng.getValues();
var destinationSS = sourceSS;
var destStartRange = destinationSS.getRange(destinationRangeStart);
var destSheet = destinationSS.getSheetByName(destStartRange.getSheet().getName());
var row = destStartRange.getRow();
var col = destStartRange.getColumn();
var rows = sourceVals.length;
var cols = sourceVals[0].length;
destSheet.getRange(row,col,rows,cols).setValues(sourceVals);
var merged = sourceRng.getMergedRanges();
merged.forEach( range => console.log(range.getA1Notation()));
var rowOffset = destStartRange.getRow()-sourceRng.getRow();
var columnOffset = destStartRange.getColumn()-sourceRng.getColumn();
for( var i=0; i<merged.length; i++ ) {
row = merged[i].getRow()+rowOffset;
col = merged[i].getColumn()+columnOffset;
rows = merged[i].getNumRows();
cols = merged[i].getNumColumns();
destSheet.getRange(row,col,rows,cols).merge();
}
}
catch(err) {
console.log(err)
}
}
