The YT video I am trying to copy is

https://youtu.be/YBd7Bv41A1Q

Here is the script he is using.

Script:

function onEdit(e) {
  const src = e.source.getActiveSheet();
  const r = e.range;
  if (r.columnStart != 3 || r.rowStart == 1 || e.value == src.getName()) return;
  const dest = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(e.value);
  src.getRange(r.rowStart,1,1,3).moveTo(dest.getRange(dest.getLastRow()+1,1,1,3));
  src.deleteRow(r.rowStart);
}

Answer 1

It works like this just using a simple trigger.

NO Need to create an installable trigger. I put a dataValidation in Sheet0 column 3 from a list Sheet1,Sheet2 and it works just fine.

function onEdit(e) {
  const sh = e.range.getSheet();
  if (e.range.columnStart != 3 || e.range.rowStart == 1 || e.value == sh.getName()) return;
  const dest = e.source.getSheetByName(e.value);
  sh.getRange(e.range.rowStart,1,1,3).moveTo(dest.getRange(dest.getLastRow()+1,1,1,3));
  sh.deleteRow(e.range.rowStart);
}

You need to create a Trigger to allow the script to perform the changes once you make a change on the drop down menu.

Example:

In this image I used the same script shown in the video and I added it as a trigger for the script. Note that it was added as an OnEdit type of trigger:
