Create an Input Sheet with a Submit Button in Google Sheets to add Data to a Log: Apps Script part 2

The Starter Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

In this tutorial,  we add the Google Apps Script that
1. Collects the Data Input
2. Checks to ensure that there is data in each cell.
3. Adds a the current date-time and user email to the input data.
4. Submits the data to the data log.
5. Clears in the input sheet.
6. Send a update (toast) to the user that the task was completed successfully.

In the next video, we will handle a situation where an editor copies and pastes in data an we need to reformate the cells and add back in the data validation once they have submitted the data.
