Recently it can be seen Google sheet added an edit button at the end of dropdown menu within the cell which will allow the editor to manipulate the cell content easily.
Is there any way out we can disable the edit button available at the end of the dropdown.

I have a sheet that is shared with quite a few people. They are supposed to fill in 5 cells, click the script button and it will insert the text below and sort it by date.
I created the script and assigned it to the button for this.
I need to protect the entire sheet except the 5 cells and the button.
When I add the protection nobody can click on the button. Is there a workaround?
Answer:
You can use Protected Ranges to protect the sheet from edit with the exception of pre-defined cells.
Steps:
Follow the menu item Data > Protected sheets and ranges from the Sheets User Interface.
Click on the + Add a sheet or range button in the newly-opened sidebar.
Click the Sheet tab.
Select which of the Sheets you wish to have protected.
Mark the Except certain cells check-box with a click (✓) and select in A1 notation the 5 cells you wish for users to edit. For example D1:D6.
Click Ok
Click Set permissions
Keep Restrict who can edit this range selected with Only you as the selection in the drop-down, and press Done.
This is enough - from here anyone you share the sheet with will have edit access to the specific five cells you specified in the exception rule. The button is also clickable as long as the user has authenticated the function to run as them.

In Google sheets, I have multiple sheets/tab in one spreadsheet file. I want to trigger a action when I switch from one tab to another i.e. when I click on the tab name / sheet name. Is this possible?
I'm looking for the same solution. The only answer I've come up with is to hide all sheets but one and force the user to click a button to select a sheet to be unhidden, afterwhich the current sheet is hidden.
I created an add-on menu for Google Sheet by using script SpreadsheetApp.getUi().createAddonMenu(). But as requested by our customer, instead of putting this menu under Add-ons, now we put this menu on top menu by using SpreadsheetApp.getUi().CreateMenu() and want to remove the menu under Add-ons. I tried SpreadsheetApp.getActive().removeMenu() but it doesn't work. Is anyone know how to remove the Add-ons menu item?
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().removeMenu('Custom Menu');
Reloading the Spreadsheet with Ctrl + R doesn't work to re-execute onOpen(), because the Spreadsheet App overrides the keys' function and reloads the Spreadsheet content within the Google App. To really reload, you may press Ctrl + F5 or use the Browser's Reload button or click into the address bar and hit Enter.
Some Examples for creating, editing and removing menus / menu items:

I realized the SpreadsheetApp.getUi().createAddonMenu() was in onOpen(), that means this Add-on menu item was only created when the sheet is opening. That means if the sheet is closed, the menu item will not exist. So just modify menu items in the script, close the sheet and re-open it, the menu item will be change accordingly.
I am trying to implement an MS-Excel like functionality in SmartGwt where i can navigate through various cells in a ListGrid using keyboard and edit cells individually.
Currently it is only possible to navigate the grid at a row level, and all editable cells go into edit mode together.
We have a grid that shows stock market data with fields for price, symbol etc. The last field is a button, and users want to navigate to this button using the arrow keys and press enter to execute a buy/sell order.
Thanks for helping
