Maybe you can use setLabel() after fetching the parameter template for that label?
https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/hom/hou/FloatParmTemplate.html [www.sidefx.com]

For the button, you can try something like this...
exec(hou.node("/obj/geo1/pythonscript1").parm('python').eval());test_callback("passing some data")
If you're inside an HDA, try relative pathing instead.

Im trying this I found in other post but not seem to work for me when calling with the buttom

def increment():
    node = hou.pwd()
    targetParm = node.parm("targetParm")    
    
    group = node.parmTemplateGroup()
    oldParm = targetParm.parmTemplate()
    newParm = targetParm.parmTemplate()
    newParm.setLabel("my new label")
    group.replace(oldParm, newParm)
    node.setParmTemplateGroup(group)



in the buttom callback im using this 

hou.phm().increment()

Hello,
i am trying to also achieve this, to edit Parm Label through Python and i cannot succeed.
@sheep, did you get there ?

on my side the setLabel is not working as expected or am i missing something ?

I get a None returned after using

```
newParm = pparm.parmTemplate().setLabel("New Label")
```

Help would be appreciated, thanks !
