Interactive Google Spreadsheet to Google Doc edit not working - google-apps-script

Question

I have several projects and they respect the same structure they have a table of 8 rows and two columns and I wrote so far a script that takes all the docs and then puts them in a table with the information as column.It is a container bound script and I want to be used by several users.I am blocked for a quite long time because I want to make interactivity if I modify in the table it will modify in the Google Doc and vice-verso.I begin I tried with the column date if I modify the date and then click on the url of the Google Doc to see the change but it doesn't work.This is my code :
Edit this is my new modified code:
function modify_Date_Google_Spreadsheet_to_Google_Doc_Project(e) {
find_columns_in_projet();
Logger.log(">> The column URL >> " + COLUMN_URL );
Logger.log("The column date where we will modify it " + column_date_project);
var tss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SPREADSHEET_ID);
var sheet = tss.getSheets()[0];
var numRows = sheet.getLastRow();
var lastColumn = sheet.getLastColumn();
//from the second line car the first line we have the headers
var data = sheet.getRange(1,1,numRows,lastColumn).getDisplayValues();
if ( ( e.range.getColumnIndex() == column_date_project ) )
{
var activeRow = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange().getRowIndex();
var URL = e.range.offset(0,1,1,1).getValue();
Logger.log('The URL is : ' + URL );
var body = DocumentApp.openByUrl(URL).getBody();
Logger.log('The body is ' + body );
if(body)
{
var ok = 0; //for the moment we don't have the table to modify the values we've put in the spreadsheet
var numChildren=body.getNumChildren();
var compteur=0;
//while we don't find the table we will search
while(ok ==0 && compteur<numChildren)
{
var child=body.getChild(compteur);
/** =========We are concerned by the first table with at least 8 rows ===**/
Logger.log('the type in the loop ' + child.getType());
//here is our table **/
if(child.getType()==DocumentApp.ElementType.TABLE && child.asTable().getNumRows() >= 8)
{
//so the variable gets 1 >> ok = 1
ok=1;
/** The number of rows in the Google Doc table **/
var numrows = child.asTable().getNumRows();
Logger.log('The number of rows is ' + numrows);
//Logger.log('The new date is ' + data[activeRow][colonne_date_de_projet-1]);
/** we will loop in the table **/
var k = 1; //we know the information is at right so we don't loop we will replace the value
/** is not working **********************************************/
//child.asTable().getCell(7, k).editAsText().setText( data[activeRow][column_date_project-1] ) ;
/**** is working ***/
child.asTable().getCell(7, k).editAsText().setText( 10 ) ;
}
compteur++; /** until we find our table **/
}
}
}
}
It's a trigger on edit because I have another one in the project This is the Google Spreadsheed with the script inside : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k_kj98U__0Bk44gh0qRFpaVx0ru3sN1pSPGiMQwimxo/edit?usp=sharing and my folder with the Google Doc projects is here : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1x1m7tqfoSY6yW5gvwoIoh9jRPuiqwADO?usp=sharing Any idea is great :) thank you very much in advance

Answer 1

I've tried another code that works only if I modify the date of the 4th project in this code I replaced only the
data_sheet[activeRow ][column_date_project-1] with
data_sheet[4][column_date_project-1] because activeRow is undefined
so any idea to recover the row of the active cell when I edit the data corresponding cell is great.
/** working with 4 as the 4 row's date modifies****/
function works(e) {
find_columns_in_projet();
Logger.log(">> The column URL >> " + COLUMN_URL );
Logger.log("The column date where we will modify it " + column_date_project);
var tss_bis = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SPREADSHEET_ID);
var sheet_bis = tss_bis.getSheets()[0];
var numRows_bis = sheet_bis.getLastRow();
var lastColumn_bis = sheet_bis.getLastColumn();
//from the second line car the first line we have the headers
var data_sheet = sheet_bis.getRange(1,1,numRows_bis,lastColumn_bis).getDisplayValues();
if ( ( e.range.getColumnIndex() == column_date_project ) )
{
var activeRow = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange().getRowIndex();
Logger.log('The active row is : ' + activeRow );
var URL = e.range.offset(0,1,1,1).getValue();
Logger.log('The URL is : ' + URL );
var body = DocumentApp.openByUrl(URL).getBody();
Logger.log('The body is ' + body );

{
var ok = 0; //for the moment we don't have the table to modify the values we've put in the spreadsheet
