Upgraded Continuous Flow Task Tracker with Apps Script (Google Sheets Only)

Let’s create an automated task tracker for a seamless experience. The automations require Apps Script. If you can't use apps script at work, the non-automated version is a better fit for you to get organized at work. If you have the ability to use Apps Script as work, this tracker is the way to go to be organized at work.
This is the fourth and most recent version of this task tracker:
V1- Orignal Task Tracker (non-automated)
V2- Upgraded Task Tracker with Automations
V3- Continuous Flow Task Tracker
V4- Upgraded Continuous Flow Task Tracker (What I use at work now)
Note: Apps Script is not transferrable to Excel. If you want to find an automated Excel version, see my video for the Continuous Flow Task Tracker with VBA in Excel.

Would you be able to make a video for Excel like this? I was trying to do it for my work, but it was a bit difficult to find the corresponding steps. Unfortunately, my works network doesn't allow google to be used. It's all microsoft.

Hey! You can find the most recent version of the excel alternative here! Apologies for it being vertical. I switched my filming style after this video to accommodate both platforms. ua-cam.com/video/_S3c81VQkvw/v-deo.htmlsi=oe9qJFd-jzVmeByV
