To change the date to 2024, open the Photoshop action, locate the step where the text is added, and edit the text layer to update the date. If needed, create a new text layer with the updated date and replace the old one.

Some action steps can be double-clicked or use the action panel menu "record again" command for the same.

 

Others you just have to record a totally new step and delete the old step.

And creating a Type Layer appears to fall in this Group. 

Edit: Edit and re-record actions

Actions are fairly simple so what is actually giving you problems? 

Have you tried double-clicking the step of the Action in the Actions Panel? 

 

Could you please provide the atn-file (as @Ciccillotto requested) or at least post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Actions, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible and the action in question fully expanded?

yes I tried double-clicking on the full action and the text step and I get an error saying this can not be run

at this time continue or stop

If you make the action available, surely someone will modify it for the purpose, or I'll edit it for you.

Hi and thank you, I'll try and figure out how to copy and upload the action 🙂
