@Har1pr1ya / @dandriscoll / @ckkashyap is this actually on AdaptiveCards? Who/how is the icon for the action button being specified? @RebeccaAnne thoughts ? I thought this was something that the card author would need to specify when they described the image json and use the alt-text property on it?

We have acknowledged this issue report. Please continue to follow the issue for updates/progress/questions. @matthidinger / @dclaux / @rebeccaanne / @paulcam206 FYI.

[dandriscoll]

We are preparing a spec for alt text on Bot Framework CardActions, which can be used within Adaptive Cards. At a high level, the plan is to use the title field for alt text in most cases and allow it to be overridden with a new imageAltText field when required.

For Adaptive Cards,

• You will need to work out what to do with your own action types
• You may need to introduce something similar for images outside of actions

Thanks @dandriscoll. Looks like @matthidinger had a couple of follow up's. What is the expectation for this bug as far as AdaptiveCards is concerned? @RebeccaAnne points out that we already have an alt-text property for images (outside of actions) in general anyways.

Thanks a lot for immediate action. @shalinijoshi19 To set some context, we are using adaptive card in our agent assist scenario where Bot will send adaptive card to Agent as a suggestion.
