Feature Request: Ability to Set Tool, Brush Type, Size, Opacity, and Flow in Photoshop Action

Would like ability to save tool type, brush size, opacity, flow, and select “Apply to All Layers” (or current layer, etc.) in an action. For example, when retouching and going through various actions (e.g. dodge and burn, frequency separation, even skin tone, blemish removal, etc.)  I still have to manually apply various tool settings.  [This even occurs when selecting “Allow Tool Recording” in actions menu].

Selecting these parameters and readjusting the flow and opacity for each retouching stage take up the most time in my workflow.  They also require me to transition from editing with my stylus to typing on the keyboard and using a mouse (and back again).

Would like ability to play an action that ends up with a specific tool, brush size, opacity, flow, and layer application.  This would allow me to simply click an action button with my stylus and then get right to work on editing, with all proper parameters set for each stage of my retouching workflow.  Most importantly, my stylus would never have to leave the tablet surface, change hands, etc. and my eyes could remain focused on the image for retouching.

In the example for dodge and burn, currently playing my action creates two new layers (dodge and burn) and then selects dodge to start retouching.  However, I then have to manually go in an select the brush tool, adjust brush size/type, modify the brush opacity and flow, and then select the “Apply to All Layers,” “Apply to Current Layer,” etc.

In this dodge and burn case: would have to: 1) manually ensure foreground is white; 2) select brush type (soft); 3) set brush size (50px); 4) set opacity (100%); set flow (1%), and then 5) toggle “Select All Layers.” Then when switching to another retouching action (e.g. blemish removal), have change all of these parameters again (e.g. spot heal removal tool, size 10px, opacity 100%, flow 100%, select current layer, etc.)

Is there a way to program these settings into an action, such that they are all ready to go after simply playing the action?

Greatly appreciate your response and consideration.
