Hello and welcome,
could you please elaborate what exactly you want to do? What modifier do you talk about? What exactly do you mean with "link initialize button to user data button", what workflow do you want to create?
Best wishes,

Hello,
I wouldn't know any Xpresso way. But you could add your userdata to a Python Generator or Python Tag. Then you could catch the event when your userdata button is pressed to use CallButton() to "press" the button on the deformer. Something like this:
def message(id,data) : if id == c4d.MSG_DESCRIPTION_CHECKUPDATE: # check if button if data["descid"][1].dtype == c4d.DTYPE_BUTTON: # get id buttonID = data["descid"][1].id # lets assume that the userdata button has the ID 1 if buttonID == 1: # get linked "Mesh" deformer from the userdata link 2 meshDeformer = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA,2] if meshDeformer is not None: c4d.CallButton(meshDeformer, c4d.ID_CA_MESH_DEFORMER_OBJECT_INITIAL)The code assumes that the userdata button has the ID 1 and that the target modifier is referenced in a userdata link field with the ID 2.
best wishes,
