Question

Using Google Sheets API python How to add a dropdown list to google sheet with list items [YES. NO, MAYBE] for an invite asking friend

Answer 1

I found the trick inside the setDataValidation property and choosing ONE_OF_LIST as the condition type and all I had to do is providing the list of items inside the value list

{
  "setDataValidation": {
    "range": {
      "sheetId": sheet_id,
      "startRowIndex": 1,
      "endRowIndex": 1,
      "startColumnIndex": 22,
      "endColumnIndex": 23
    },
    "rule": {
      "condition": {
        "type": 'ONE_OF_LIST',
        "values": [
          {
          "userEnteredValue": 'YES',
          },
          {
          "userEnteredValue": 'NO',
          },
          {
          "userEnteredValue": 'MAYBE',
          },
        ],
      },
      "showCustomUi": True,
      "strict": True
    }
  }
},
