<https://help.libreoffice.org/6.0/en-GB/text/shared/guide/scripting.html>

says otherwise.

To the OP: You probably don't need scripting.  This short of thing is
usually done by copying a formula, though scripting it can make it
automatic.  And I've never had much luck with JavaScript and LibreOffice
calc.  I've not tried hard, but even the examples seem to go wrong.  I
suspect the API is not maintained in the same way that Basic one is.
