What is the purpose of the Apps Script part in the My Account/Integrations panel ?

Hi Dear Community,

 

First of all, thank you the AppSheet Team for your great achievement ! 

 

I noticed that due to recent rollout of the Apps Script integration with Bots, there is a new section available in My Account/Integrations panel:

However, unlike the other panels, I notice I have the possibility to delete (so far so good) but no possibility to share with my team like it is for auth domains in the example below.

Since I can't do anything but deleting with these apps script files (not even edit, as expressly said: "modify them directly in your app"):

- will it be possible to share it with the team soon ?

- is it in the roadmap to be able to edit such files directly from there ?

 

Many thanks in advance for your consideration and answers

That's right, the only purpose of the Apps Script account page is to delete them. This is if you want to stop giving access to a particular Apps Script project to AppSheet. Otherwise you'd have to individually delete each task that uses a certain script in every app you have, for some users, that can be quite a bit of clicking.

If there is enough interest, we can make it easier to share these projects across teams. But, it's currently possible by sharing a script with another member of your team in Apps Script itself and having them add the script to their apps (screenshot below). Given there is a workaround, it isn't high on our priorities currently. It might make sense to add a link to the project itself to make it easier to do this? I'm open to that.

 

Here is a screenshot on how to add another editor to the project:

Hi @nico 

Many thanks for your explanation !

I'm aware of the workaround you describe and was rather wondering the purpose of displaying such feature here, in comparison of the feature attached to other data sources and integrations. I understand all of it now.

For my use cases, I won't need to go in this panel: I have few enough files to get right to the ones I would need to edit. It think I will probably even stick with one app=one file 🙂

Maybe other community members will be interested in editing directly from this panel !

 

Again, thank you for your time and thorough answer
