Copy range to another spreadsheet created using a template - google-apps-script

Question

I'm trying to create a script that will copy a range of data from one sheet to two other separate sheets when a user clicks "Yes" in the alert message. One of those two will be on a new spreadsheet created using a template. The data I want to copy is from a sheet called "data". The destination sheets are named "selected" and on the new spreadsheet, "csv". The new spreadsheet will be stored in a different folder. Found this [script][1] to be very helpful for me to get started.
The onEdit script is working fine for the "data" sheet and transfers the chosen row to the "selected" sheet when a user clicks the checkbox and the "Yes" button in the alert message.
function onEdit(event) {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var s = event.source.getActiveSheet();
var r = event.source.getActiveRange();
if(s.getName() == "data" && r.getColumn() == 16 && r.getValue() == "Yes") {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
var response = ui.alert('Are you sure you want to continue?', ui.ButtonSet.YES_NO);
// Process the user's response.
if (response == ui.Button.YES) {
var row = r.getRow();
var numColumns = s.getLastColumn();
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName("selected");
var target = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
s.getRange(row, 1, 1, numColumns).moveTo(target);
s.deleteRow(row);
}
Logger.log('The user clicked "Yes."');
}
else if (response == ui.Button.NO) {
clearAnswer();
Logger.log('The user clicked "No" or the close button in the dialog\'s title bar.');
}
}
First issue I have is that the condition else if is not triggering the function "clearAnswer" when a user clicks NO in the alert message even though the function works when triggered in the script editor.
function clearAnswer() {
var app = SpreadsheetApp;
var clearSheet = app.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
clearSheet.getRange("P2:P").clearContent();
}
Second issue is I don't know where to begin with the script that will copy the chosen row from the "data" sheet to the "csv" sheet on a new spreadsheet which will be created using a template. I found this script so far.
// Pull spreadsheet template
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('TEMPLATEFILEID');
var newSS = ss.copy("Copy of " + ss.getName());
// Move to original folder
var targetFolder = DriveApp.getFileById('FOLDERFORNEWFILE');
var newSSFile = DriveApp.getFileById(newSS.getId());
originalFolder.addFile(newSSFile);
DriveApp.getRootFolder().removeFile(newSSFile);
}*/
I would appreciate any help you can give me or I hope you can point me to the right direction so I can figure things out faster.

You else if is nested outside of the popup event. Try like this:
function onEdit(event) {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var s = event.source.getActiveSheet();
var r = event.source.getActiveRange();
if(s.getName() == "data" && r.getColumn() == 16 && r.getValue() == "Yes") {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
var response = ui.alert('Are you sure you want to continue?', ui.ButtonSet.YES_NO);
// Process the user's response.
if (response == ui.Button.YES) {
var row = r.getRow();
var numColumns = s.getLastColumn();
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName("selected");
var target = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
s.getRange(row, 1, 1, numColumns).moveTo(target);
s.deleteRow(row);
Logger.log('The user clicked "Yes."');
} else if (response == ui.Button.NO) {
clearAnswer();
Logger.log('The user clicked "No" or the close button in the dialog\'s title bar.');
}
}
}
}
