Solution: Enable Custom Script!

To enable custom script in SharePoint Online, do the following:

1. Sign in to Your SharePoint Online Admin Center site: https://YourDomain-Admin.SharePoint.com
2. Click on Settings from the left navigation >> Scroll down to the “Custom Script” section
3. Under the Custom Script section, Set “Allow users to run custom script on personal site” and “Allow users to run custom script on self-service created sites” options to enable custom script SharePoint Online.
4. Click on “OK” to save your changes.

However, this change may take up to 24 hours to reflect. To allow custom script on a particular site collection immediately, use this PowerShell script through SharePoint Online Management Shell.
