Change or hide a custom action from the standard page, which is added via another custom extension

Hello Experts, Hope you all are doing well! I recently encountered a new requirement on how to change the name of a custom action and also hide a custom action from the standard page (Sales Order), which is added via another custom extension.


No doubt,  one can do so by using a page extension. Suppose one doesn't have access to the code or symbols from that custom extension. In such a case, how can one simply change the caption of a custom action and also hide a custom action by building and deploying a new extension?


Can anyone please confirm if this is possible or not? Answers will be highly appreciated.


Thanks for reading.

    As far as I know, there is no way.
    For data, you can use RecordRef to get it

    But for pages, you can only get it through Page Extension. So you need to add the dependencies property first. After downloading the symbol file, change or hide a custom action.
     
    PS: If you have the translation file of another app, you should be able to do it, but you cannot access the symbol file, so I think the translation file cannot be obtained.
