Hey there,  
I’d like to bring it up for future discussion.

How can I create a new sheet in a Google Sheets file and input data into it without using a merge node? The problem is that the Google Sheets node doesn’t pass the data it receives from the previous node.  
Would it be better to add an option to pass this data? It could improve the efficiency of this operation.

Here is my approach for now.
