Problem Description

reopening this issue #3768
image
In all action buttons with iconUrl, there's no place in the schema to define alt attribute for this icon.
We're rendering the buttons as icons (without title).

Expected Outcome

There should be an attribute in the schema to define alt text for the icon in action button.

Actual Outcome

In all action buttons with iconUrl, there's no place in the schema to define alt attribute for this icon.

Research direction

The issue concerns the Adaptive Cards schema and action buttons that use iconUrl in Reflect on Windows. Begin by locating the schema definition and the action-button rendering or test entry points; done means an alt-text attribute can be specified for these icons and is available when buttons are rendered without titles.
