Hello community
Is it possible to change the name of the new action button below dynamically for example when you click on the people tab the new action button has the a different name ie Resources and when you click on a particular patient in switches to the default New action ? Or it requires a change in the core code base of CHT ?
Short answer is no. I do not think it is currently possible to dynamically change the label on that button. (Should, of course, be able to supply a custom translation to statically set the label, but it will not dynamically change based on context.)
I do have a couple of other thoughts. First, it is worth noting that there are some proposed UI changes that I believe would impact that button specifically (changing it to just a 
button following the standard material design). I am not sure how that might look different on a desktop browser, though.
Also, the idea of adding custom actions to the action bar is the kind of thing that would be really interesting to propose as a use-case for a plugin/add-on!
