I am utilizing the Telebot library and encountering an issue. I want the button to update its text after the user submits their input. Here’s a sample code snippet:

bot.register_next_input_handler(user_message, handle_input)

@bot.message_handler(commands=['begin'])
def initiate(message):
    keyboard = types.InlineKeyboardMarkup()
    button1 = types.InlineKeyboardButton(text='Login', callback_data='button1')
    keyboard.add(button1)
    bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Menu:', reply_markup=keyboard)


def input_address(message):
    keyboard = types.InlineKeyboardMarkup()
    back_button = types.InlineKeyboardButton(text='↩ Back', callback_data='back_action')
    keyboard.add(back_button)
    bot.edit_message_text(chat_id=message.chat.id, message_id=message.id, text='Please enter your wallet address:', reply_markup=keyboard)
    bot.register_next_input_handler(message, handle_input)


def handle_input(message):
    keyboard = types.InlineKeyboardMarkup()
    back_button = types.InlineKeyboardButton(text='↩ Back', callback_data='back_action')
    keyboard.add(back_button)
    bot.edit_message_text(chat_id=message.chat.id, message_id=message.id, text='You entered an invalid wallet address.', reply_markup=keyboard)

@bot.callback_query_handler(func=lambda call: call.data)
def on_button_click(call):
    if call.data == 'button1':
        input_address(call.message)

What changes do I need to implement to achieve this?

To change the button text based on user input, you can consider using bot.edit_message_reply_markup. After receiving the user’s input, you need to keep track of the message id and then update the button text accordingly. Here’s a simplified approach:

Modify the handle_input function so when the input is received, it updates the button text by creating a new InlineKeyboardMarkup object and using bot.edit_message_reply_markup. Ensure callback data is set correctly to distinguish different button actions. Experimenting with message IDs and reply_markup when calling edit_message_reply_markup can allow more dynamic changes to the button text as you intended.
