    Hello !

    I have in my QMenu an action, and a tool button in my QToolBar linked to this action.
    But I wanted the button in the toolbar to have a shorter text than the action in the menu:

    m_runTestsAction = testsMenu->addAction(runIcon, tr("Run tests"));
    m_runTestsAction->setEnabled(false);
    
    m_runTestsButton = new QToolButton;
    m_runTestsButton->setToolButtonStyle(Qt::ToolButtonTextUnderIcon);
    m_runTestsButton->setDefaultAction(menuBar->getRunTestsAction());
    m_runTestsButton->setText(tr("Run"));
    

    Problem: each time I update the enable state of the action (to update both menu and toolbar), it puts back the full text under the button Run tests.

    Is it possible to update a field in the action and trigger only the same change on the tool button?

    Thanks!

      The button's icon text is taken from QActions iconText() property. So set the iconText to 'Run'.
