P: Holding alt button is not remembering last adjustment settings used. i.e on levels

Using Photoshop beta 27.4.0 release. 

You used to be able to hold down ALT key when entering adjustments. And it would remember your last used settings. This no longer works. 

For example I need to change the levels on 4 layers.
I would change one.
Hold down alt. Image > Adjustments > levels. Should remember my previous used levels.

    Hi ​@kiddac testing here and we are not seeing this issue.  Make sure to update to Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.4.0 20260206.m.3405 2055565  arm64 (beta, PublicBeta)

     

    If you are still seeing this issue:

     

    1. Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
    /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
    /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)


    C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings


    Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
    With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

    2. It may help if we could see your Photoshop beta System Info. Launch Photoshop beta, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.  

    Thanks,

    @kiddac @kiddac @kiddac Ok I can clarify the issue more now.

    Normal Layer. ALT key works. whether the initial adjustment was done on a normal layer or a smart object.
    Smart object. ALT key does not work. And it resets back to default adjustment. 
    If I cancel out of that adjustment on the smart object and try again on a normal layer. The saved ALT settings are still remembered.

    I am sure you used to be able to do this on a smart object too.
