Can't Rename Admin Print Extension

Extensions
1

Hi there!
I’ve been trying to create an admin_print extension that connects to our external service and requests a PDF label to be printed. The extension seems to work just fine, but for whatever reason I can’t change the name of the action for the client.
This is what I have right now:

# extensions/admin-print/shopify.extension.toml
api_version = "2025-01"

[[extensions]]
name = "t:name"
handle = "admin-print"
type = "ui_extension"


# Only 1 target can be specified for each admin print action extension
[[extensions.targeting]]
module = "./src/PrintActionExtension.tsx"
# The target used here must match the target used in the module file (./src/PrintActionExtension.tsx)
target = "admin.order-details.print-action.render"

When I check my extension, however, I notice it uses the App’s name rather than the more descriptive name I have in my i18n files!

Any thoughts or ideas on workarounds, or is there no way to change the name at all in this specific case? I couldn’t find anything in the documentation about this.
Thanks!

Hi - just to confirm, the name from name = "t:name" is not being displayed? If you try hardcoding the name, instead of trying to pull from a locale file, is this updating?

Hey Liam,

That’s correct, the name is not being displayed, and I instead see the App name in its spot.

Hardcoding the name doesn’t work either. It seems like Shopify automatically uses the App’s name here.

I followed the tutorial here and notice that it also differs from the others in that there’s no attempt made at changing the extension name:

For comparison, here’s the .toml for the admin action tutorial
