The Google Apps Script script on the Oxford Book of English Verse spreadsheet to populate the column with total number of comments per thread:

function getNumberOfCommentsPerThread() {

  const numRows = dataRange.getNumRows();

  }

  console.log(outputArray);

  // set cell with last update date
