      @Okan5CA7 

       

      You haven't stated what version of Photoshop you are using. I can only assume v2025 or perhaps a public beta?

       

      I tested in versions 2019, 2021 and 2024 and copy style isn't recorded in history. 

      That it is being recorded is as @c.pfaffenbichler replied a recent change. So it's either by design or a bug.

       

      Let's be clear - I agree with you, it seems unnecessary to record the copy in history, it's not a specific edit step that changes the file state. So paste style should be there, but I don't know why copy style is now included when it wasn't previously included in the history steps.

      Jane is right, I have marked her reply as the correct answer.

       

      A script can replace one or more history steps with a single step, which is the only other option that I can think of.

        Developers are making updates that disrupt users' workflows and we have to beg for it to be optional? Why don't you think some updates should be optional? And you, Stephen, I don't understand how you can choose it as the correct answer instead of me!! I want a solution.

        You may want it but if it does not exist in the most current Photoshop version that’s that. 

         

        Feature Requests (Idea) and Bug Reports are registered at Adobe, otherwise this is essentially a user Forum, so please post a Feature Request if you feel strongly about the issue – as @jane-e already recommended.

          It's not possible. The only options we have are the five in History Options.

           

           

          You can make a feature request to Adobe by starting a new post and choosing Ideas instead of Discussions.
