**Describe the bug:** When I specify an action for Action Text, the “Icon” field autopopulates & I’m not given a “x” next to the icon to delete it - I can only change the icon. I don’t want an icon for every Action Text that has an action. **Expected Behaviour:** Action Text shouldn’t necessarily be automatically given an icon, but if it is, I should be able to delete the icon, not just change it. **How to replicate:** Create new Action Text, assign it an action, try to delete the icon it’s been automatically given. ---

Dare I say it’s not a bug it’s a feature? I don’t believe we have ever been given an option to do something like you said, so this is more like a feature request, not a bug report. ---

I suppose my description of the issue was unclear. I am not requesting a new feature or new type of behaviour. I am highlighting undesirable behavior first (the assigning of an icon when giving Action Text an action), &, secondarily, highlighting the lack of an option/s to remedy this undesirable behavior (the inability to delete icons assigned to Action Text). ---

By the way, there is an “x” beside icons that are assigned to _ **Buttons** _, which both removes the icon in the Button & replaces it in the Button Properties column on the right side of the UI with the word “None”. ---

Here’s what I mean: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/1/9131b02422e39ece61c6399f812cafb9c1eeccd2.jpeg "Glide: Action Text vs. Rich Text") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSoFtrru608) [Corrections: Obviously you can also use Action Text if you want a simple way to have text that has a title and also want it to have an icon beside it. Also, Action Text titles are not bold - The Action Text itself looks bold, while Action Text titles use plain formatting.]
