I have this Google Sheet document that already has functionality built in which applies automatic borders. I don't know how it is doing this. I've tried looking in the Script Editor, but I don't see any existing scripting in the Script Editor. Perhaps I'm missing something.

I would like to adjust the way it auto-applies borders. Currently, if you insert text in a cell in the "Cue Title" column, it applies a border to two cells down, through Column R. I'd like it to instead apply a top-border to the cell with text in it, through Column R.

There is other auto-functionality built into that document which I'd like to preserve, as well, so I'd like to correct the Google Sheet itself, rather than starting all over from scratch.

How do I adjust this functionality?

  • Are you able to identify the conditional formatting rules that are applying the borders in the Google Sheets conditional formatting tool?

As I already said in my answer to your previous question, Google Sheets and the Google Sheets API hasn't a way to change the conditional formatting rules inherited from the Excel file that was converted into a Google Sheets spreadsheet.

One thing that you could try, first clear the conditional formatting rules that are applying the borders, then instead of using the conditional formatting built-in feature use an on edit or on change trigger to set the cell borders by using Google Apps Script.
