I’m still fairly new to scripting, and going through the learning process. I’m assuming the below error means that scripting can’t access the details that it needs to?

Error

N: Can’t set cell values: Field ‘Button’ is computed and cannot be set

My example code below;

let myTable = base.getTable("ButtonTable");
let myTabeQuery = await myTable.selectRecordsAsync();

for (let myRecord of myTabeQuery.records) 
{    
    let getButton = myRecord.getCellValue('Button')
    console.log(getButton);

    let getSelect = myRecord.getCellValue('SingleSelect')
    console.log(getSelect);

    let newName = "💚";
    await myTable.updateRecordAsync(myRecord,{Name:newName});

    let newSelect = "💚";
    await myTable.updateRecordAsync(myRecord,{"SingleSelect": {name:newSelect}});

    let newButton = "On";
    await myTable.updateRecordAsync(myRecord,{"Button": {Label:newButton}});
}

Is there any method to update Labels?

You are correct that you cannot change button field labels. They are fixed and must be the same for every button in a column.

No. Button labels are static, and are the same for every record. The label is a property of the table’s field object, not a field value associated with a record.
