Is there a way to change the ‘backActionText’ for back buttons following the one that goes to the home screen?

Ex if I navigate Home\>Manufacturing\>Facility 2, on the Facility 2 subtree how can I change “Back to Manufacturing” to something else.

I also want to know that…  
I’ve set ‘backActionText’ to ‘Nazaj’ (which is the SLV word for back), and on the first submenu it shows, but on the second+ submenu, it always shows ‘Back to’…  
It seems to me like a bug.

New user who is also running into this issue.

Did this ever get solved?  
A backActionText and backActionStyle option for menu tree items?

Not an actual solution, but I did find an ok workaround. I added

```auto
overflow: hidden
whiteSpace: nowrap
wordSpacing: 150px

```

to the backActionStyle object in props. Basically it turns the subsubmenu back text from

```auto
"Back to Sub Menu Name"

```

to

```auto
"Back to Sub Menu Name"

```

and since overflow is hidden, all you end up seeing is “Back”, which is good enough for me.
