How to SetAddress when in a contact with no existing address

I am trying to update or add an Address in my contacts using a value in Google Sheet.
I am using this code (where address is the value in Google Sheet):



var AddressFields = contacts[i].getAddresses(ContactsApp.Field.HOME_ADDRESS);
AddressFields[i].setAddress(address);


It works when the contact I am trying to update has an Address field labeled HOME_ADDRESS.
But it does not work if the Address is labeled differently (WORK_ADDRESS for example) or if there is no existing Address



I tried to use the setLabel function to create an Address placeholder but it does not seems to work.



var addressFields = contacts[i].getAddresses();
addressFields[i].setLabel(ContactsApp.Field.HOME_ADDRESS);


Do you know how I could make sure it works in any situation?
Thanks a lot for your help

          How about using nested-if? For example:



          for (var i = 0; i < n; i++ {
          if (contacts[i].getAddresses(ContactsApp.Field.HOME_ADDRESS)) {
          address = contacts[i].getAddresses(ContactsApp.Field.HOME_ADDRESS;
          } else if (contacts[i].getAddresses(ContactsApp.Field.WORK_ADDRESS)) {
          address = contacts[i].getAddresses(ContactsApp.Field.WORK_ADDRESS);
          } else {
          address = '';
          }

          AddressFields[i].setAddress(address);
          }

          • I think what you are proposing is actually getting the address from Google contacts right? My issue is to find which Address field exists in Google contact and fill this with a value from a Google Sheet. At the moment, if I am trying to fill the Home_Address but there is no address field labeled Home_Address, my script fails.

          • The idea was to check whether HOME_ADDRESS exists, if not, check if there is a WORK_ADDRESS. If all else fails, set to empty, so that at least there will be a fallback if there are no addresses available. I only tried to replicate this in a simple js file, so I'm not really sure how it would have been implemented on your case.
