Issue with ss.insertSheet - inserted sheet has wrong name - google-apps-script

Question

Hello I wrote a small script to copy one template sheet in a spreadsheet, as a new sheet in the same spreadsheet.
I wrote two versions of it, one driven by a menu that asks for the name of the new sheet to be created:
function addonenewSheet() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var temp = ss.getSheetByName('template');
var naame = Browser.inputBox("CustomerID to be created");
try {
ss.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheetByName(naame));
}
catch (e) {
ss.insertSheet(naame, {template:temp});
}
}
This one works as intended, and names the new sheet 234 if I say so in the inputbox.
The second function is very similar, but parses some values and attempts to create many sheets at once:
function addmissingSheets() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var temp = ss.getSheetByName('template');
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
for (var i = 10; i < data.length; i++) {
if(typeof data[i][1] == 'number'){
try {
ss.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheetByName(data[i][1]));
}
catch (e) {
Logger.log('Customer ID: ' + data[i][1]);
var insertpage = data[i][1];
ss.insertSheet(insertpage, {template:temp});
}
}
}
}
As long as Logger.log is concerned, data[i][1] has the right value, but somehow insertSheet creates sheets named "copy of template", "copy of template 2"... Instead of taking the value assigned in data[i][1]
Would anyone know why this behaviour and how I can solve this issue?

Answer 1

your second script does not use correct variable types. The method you are using insert sheet uses types (<string>, {template:<sheet>}). Since your customer ID is a number it does not work. There is a simple fix you can do
Change
var insertpage = data[i][1];
into:
var insertpage = data[i][1].toString();
and you will now be able to use the customer ID (which is a number) to create a sheet name (which is a string)
