Capture the name of the selected UI menu option

Question

I'm trying to add entries to the menu of a Google Sheet:

  ui.createMenu('Push to Sheet')
    .addItem('Texas', 'menuItem')
    .addItem('Illinois', 'menuItem')
    .addToUi();

In the callback function menuItem, is there any way to capture the name of the selected option (i.e. 'Texas' or 'Illinois')? If possible, this would serve as a marker to replace the inability to send parameters using the UI service.

Answer 1

No, this information is not exposed. You'll need to define specific functions to handle each menu item.

eg:

 function texasItem(){
    menuItem('Texas');
 }

 function illinoisItem(){
    menuItem('Illinois');
 }
