Is it possible to add a Button to a Wagtail Settings page?

I am trying to customize a settings page so it has a button that I will assign to a certain action. (Let's assume for now I just want to log something into the console).

Ideally it would be of something like this:

@register_setting
class ActionTriggeringSetting(BaseSetting):
    button = models.ButtonField(
        action=myLoggingFunc,
        help_text='Click here to log "Hello World" to the console'
    )

I tried looking into the site settings but found nothing really helpful there.

Does anybody know if something of the sort exists?

Thank you

Depending on where in the admin UI you want you button to be, there is a way using the register-admin-menu-item or register-settings-menu-item Wagtail hook

See: https://docs.wagtail.io/en/v2.10.1/reference/hooks.html#register-admin-menu-item

and

https://docs.wagtail.io/en/v2.10.1/reference/hooks.html#register-settings-menu-item

The approaches above will add a button to the Wagtail Admin menu or the settings submenu, respectively. Clicking on the button will trigger a custom view that you also need to add - this is also loosely covered in the linked docs.
