I often work with white graphics, so I frequently change the color of my artboard with "simulate colored paper" in the Document Setup section of the File Menu. Today, I had the great idea of recording an action to record the 9 click process:
So, I pulled up my action panel, recorded the action and nuthin'! I tried again, and same thing, nothing was recorded. Why are the Document Setup actions unavailable in the Actions module?
Additionally, if anyone has a way to default my New File to have a colored background, I'd love to hear about it.
Thank you!
Funny you should mention that, I did that a few hours ago, prior to seeing your suggestion. I just saved an 18"x18" template to my cloud docs. Easily accessible and editable. Thanks for your suggestion though!

Many frustrating things don't record to actions.
But you can create a document profile with Simulate Coloured Paper enabled. Save it to:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 28 Settings\en_GB\x64\New Document Profiles
and then use it from File > New each time you need that setup.
