Stop google script from writing certain information on google sheets - google-sheets

Im having trouble with a google script I'm trying. The script itself works fine but after filling any cell on the google sheet it keeps writing this:
{source=Spreadsheet, range=Range, user=, value=Submit, authMode=LIMITED}
I can simply change the TEXT color of that cell to white, but I need to google script stop writing on that cell every time I change the sheet.
GOOGLE SCRIPT BUG OR SOMETHING
Haven't find a solution yet.

Is there a way of showing all data of a row from a column chart in Google Sheets?

I'm trying to replicate the UI of a website chart (the following image):
I'm working in Google Sheets and I have imported the same data used in the creation of the chart above, however I couldn't figure out how to add to the hover label (? I'm not sure I'm calling it right...) all the data I wanted.
Right now the chart in my Google Sheets only shows the Net Amplitude data when hovering. Can you please direct me to add the rest?
Judging from the comments from below my question, I can only conclude that Google Sheets has this limitation. Consider this an answer, although the credit should go to #ziganotschka and #Nami888 for taking the time to confirm my suspicions.

Is it possible to add a blank sheet to a google spreadsheet using sheets.spreadsheets v4?

The current api is https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.sheets/copyTo
This is a workaround because I have to first copy an existing sheet and then clear its content before making any use of it.
Google App Script has InsertSheet and it is missing in sheets v4 api.
Why would Google team decide not to do such a simple one?
Well, it was not straight forward.
However the answer is in batchUpdate for Sheet Operations

Can text be scraped from Grammarly to google spreadsheet using IMPORTXML function?

I am trying to get texts from the Grammarly application imported into a Google spreadsheet using the IMPORTXML function. To do so, I follow the required syntax IMPORTXML(URL, xpath_query), but it keeps showing an error that the "imported content is empty".
However, the same steps work fine to import data from other websites, and I am confused what might be the matter with Grammarly. Is it because it does allow data scraping at all, maybe?
Thanks for your help. 1 2 3
not possible because this is behind the login gate. google sheets cant read such data

How to extract url from Google Sheet Cell with anchor text hyperlink

I have copied a list of links from the web to a google spreadsheet.
Now there is a list of hyperlinked text in each cell.
I want to put the url underneath the anchor text into a new cell.
However, the only methods discussed online refer to how to get a url from a cell that is using the HYPERLINK() function. My cells are not using such a function, they are simply copied and pasted from a website, but still retain their anchor text and hyperlink. Other options use Macros/VBA, which I cannot use/have access to.
How can I replace these anchor text in a Google Sheets cell with the links they represent or copy them into a new cell?
This only a partial answer, but I spent an embarrassing amount of time recently trying to extract links from a spreadsheet that were done the way you describe.
The only way I was able to finally do it was to export the sheet as HTML, and use regex to find the hrefs and extract them.
Full discloser, my wife came up with this in about 10 minutes, meanwhile I wasted many hours playing with the Google Sheets API, Open Office, Excel, and various xlsx parsing libraries for Go.
Anyway - if you just need to extract the links, it's not impossible, but it's not very practical either.

Why does the "continue" command appear on some google sheets but not others

I have two google sheets. In one I have created a function and want to put it into the other. In the first sheet it works great and has no issues, in the second sheet it seems to automatically insert the "continue(1,2,) etc.
The code I have, which works in the first sheet is:
=SPLIT(ADDTOTAL(SORT('REPORT LOOKUP'!F1:F35)),",")
(Addtotal is a custom script) but in the second sheet where it seems to autoinsert the "continue" it has duplicates and additional columns.
Anyone know what the issue woudl be, how I can turn off the continue if I need to?
Thanks
Sigh- much pain could have been avoided if I had checked dates the sheets were created. The difference is that the one sheet is a new google doc, the other old. The new sheets do not behave the same way as the old, they no longer use the "continue" function but just post the data.
