I am trying to create an action with a step that paste into the layer mask. Is there a menu command that Actions can read for when you Alt-Click on the layer mask thumbnail?

Thanks

I am testing with latest version and it works, you can Alt + click on mask applied to group and Photoshop will record step Select Mask Channel > With Make Visible.

Hovewer, if you still have problem to record step when mask added to layer group then please update then report problem on https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family

Just to mention that you can record step with mask added to layer then to drag/duplicate that step where you need it in action, there is no difference between step recorded with mask atached to layer or group, step is exactly the same.

Alt or Option clicking on the Layer Mask thumbnail should record an action step.

I did get it to work on a single layer. If you add a layer mask onto a group, it will not record the alt/option + click. I realized that for what I was trying to accomplish, I did not need the group. I recorded my action and it worked as expected. Thanks for the reply.
