Description

While making some minor edits to an existing and functional project, it suddenly requested a new permission for https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.container.ui (display and run third-party web content in prompts and sidebars inside Google applications). After some time, I isolated it to the presence of the word 'show' (lowercase) in a comment, along with the presence of SpreadsheetApp.getActive() triggers the request for authorization.

Code

function myFunction() { let spreadSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(); // show }

Output

Request for authorization and inclusion of https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.container.ui in permission scope

Steps

• Open an incognito window and log into google sheets.

• Create a new sheet, then go Apps Script to create a new script.

• Enter in the code above, save, and check permission scopes.

  Permission scopes will include https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.container.ui. If you remove the word 'show', it will remove that permission. The word can be anywhere in a sentence, anywhere in the code, but seems to only trigger the authorization scope if the SpreadSheetApp.getActive() method is invoked.
