How to turn OFF "Constrain Proportions" in an Action

Question

AI CC 2015.3.1Mac OS X 10.11.6I've recorded an Action that scales a selection on Y axis ONLY. It works fine as long as the "Constrain Width and Height Proportions" is turned off before the Action is run. But this option does not appear to be controllable in the Action? Clicking the option in either the Options Bar or Transform Panel is ignored when recording an Action and "Object>Transform>Scale" is by percentage only. What is the trick to insure "Constrain Proportions" is turned OFF in an Action?

But that's NOT the question asked.Yes there are good reasons.And if anyone read what i was trying to put down.. you can already accomplish the specific "action" the OP wants to achieve.The only thing the OP disliked was that the solution was percentage based rather than dimension pixels/cm/inch....Or am I going crazy?The question was "How to turn OFF "Constrain Proportions" in an Action?" Right?The simple answer is: Currently you can't. And currently there is no trick to do it.Percentage doesn't matter in that case, unless all objects in question already have the same dimensions.Yes, you can do some scripting or make a feature request. But that was not the question.

this sounds like the sort of thing you could script easily, because then it wouldn't matter how constrain proportions was set. sounds like an ideal learning project if you don't know scripting already.
