backActionText on node isnot displayed in Ignition **8.1.37**.  
The fix is mentionned in the changelog of Ignition **8.1.24** but the issue is still there:

can anybody check at IA that this fix in 8.1.24 has been merged ?

Your expectations are slightly out-of-line. Notice that at the very top level props of the components - outside of the items list - there is a `backActionText` prop. Yet you see no back action text when nothing is selected.

The `backActionText` property is the text displayed to \_get back to this item when a child is selected. This property should NOT be understood as the _text displayed while this item is selected_.

The tooltip and Docs are slightly misleading, so I can see why someone might expect this behavior or usage. I'll open a ticket to clarify the tooltip and documentation.

Thanks, I think I've already been fooled by the level concerned.
