Show this Google Sheets API feature request some love with a comment or +1!:

## Inclusion of a 'setToFit' boolean in row metadata. `pixelSize` does not accurately read row assigned 'Fit to data'

### Description

#### Issue
There is currently no way to get or set the row height to `Fit to data` in the same way that you can in Google Sheets by right-clicking the row, `Resize row` > `Fit to data`.

The closest approximation is in `rowMetadata` > `pixelSize`. However, pixel size is inaccurately read when the row is set to `Fit to data`, reading only the default 21 pixels even when the data may expand the height of the row beyond this pixel height.

See this bug report for an example: [There is no way to get the real height of a row if its height is based on the height of the content in its cells.](issuetracker.google.com/issues). _*The Googler assigned to this bug recommended that a feature request should be made. This is the feature request._

#### Proposed Solution
Introduce the property: `setToFit` as a boolean into `rowMetadata` array of objects alongside `pixelSize`.

Just like when assigning `Fit to data` in Google Sheets, `setToFit` would take priority over `pixelSize` setting any row that has `setToFit` marked as `true` to a row height that would fit the data.

This is a low-memory solution for the API (boolean property) and does not require any modification of existing properties allowing it to be added to the existing API v4.

### Impact
Currently, devs must manually ensure that each row of data is not set to `Fit to data` before modifying duplicating or cutting and pasting ranges with the correct row height. Otherwise, the row heights will not be accurately represented.

With the inclusion of `setToFit` developers would be able to accurately determine if selected rows are based on the actual pixel height or `Fit to data`.

#### Getting and setting the row heights
Let's say a developer wants to copy a range of data from one Google Sheet or Sheet tab to another and ensure that they also duplicate the correct row height.

When iterating over their `rowMetadata` they would first check if `setToFit` is `true` If so, they would mark the property to true in their batch upload payload, otherwise, they would set the `pixelSize`.

CASA Tier 2 compliance for Google Workspace Add-ons is a PIA, but one good thing that came out of it was updating old code from JQuery to JavaScirpt. Dependencies are not recommended and honestly were never needed for this project.
