I am creating an action using multiple adjustment layers and one aspect of it is using the selective color adjustment and I set it to absolute. Once I try to use this action on other files, the adjustment in selective color layer is set to relative. I've tried to redo this action a dozen times but ends up the same. Even tried doing an action withe the selective color by itself, setting it to absolute but again once I run the action on a file it opens with the relative setting. Even tried making the action and then restarting Photoshop but with the same results. Need help
I guess it's still not fixed then.

What version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
Was reported here as a bug in photoshop cs6, but adobe never responded to say it was or wasn't a bug.
I know it's been reported and talked about on these forums as well, but can't find any of those threads.

I just had the exact same bug experience in the past few days on Win 11. And, I'm using Ps 2023 (rel. 24.6) - so this has been a bug for a long time.
Seems well-written code would pick up the settings a user has set in Selective Color and we shouldn't have to change settings before recording an action in order to get the action to run as we thought we had recorded it (i.e., with it set to an Absolute method vs. relative).
I had at least 6 people between the Adobe & KelbyOne communities trying to figure out how to get the action recording to be set as Absolute. And, at least 50% of them were talking about creating complex scripts, etc. It should be a very stratightforward process for the action code to pick up settings in any given adjustment layer we're recording an action for. If there's already a tick mark next to Absolute, that should be recorded as a setting and become part of the action for Selective Color.
