Dialogue Button Text

[cri...@gmail.com]

From what I read on the developers site, I should be able to change the text in the button of a dialogue box by using this code:

var result = ui.prompt(

      'Title',

    'Message',

      ui.ButtonSet.OK_CANCEL);

  var button = result.getSelectedButton();

  //What happens if the User clicks OK

  if (button == ui.Button.OK) {

Using this works fine, but when I try to change the text I get an error:

var result = ui.prompt(

      'Title',

    'Message',

      ui.ButtonSet.SUBMIT_CANCEL);

  var button = result.getSelectedButton();

  //What happens if the User clicks OK

  if (button == ui.Button.SUBMIT) {

You can see that I've changed the text to submit from OK.

The documentation states that:

To override the default "OK" button, pass a value from the Ui.ButtonSet enum as the buttons argument.

However from what is written online, it's not possible to change the text.

Can someone clarify this for me, and if it's possible point me in the correct direction?

You can change the button text but it is restricted to the listed Enum's 

Property	Type	Description
OK	Enum	A single "OK" button, indicating an informational message that can only be dismissed.
OK_CANCEL	Enum	An "OK" button and a "Cancel" button, allowing the user to either proceed with or halt an operation.
YES_NO	Enum	A "Yes" button and a "No" button, allowing the user to answer a yes/no question.
YES_NO_CANCEL	Enum	A "Yes" button, a "No" button, and a "Cancel" button, allowing the user to either answer a yes/no question or halt an operation.

If you want more control over your dialog appearance you can use HTMLService ... more info on Custom dialogs
