P: 'Select People' hangs when added to an Action

- Photoshop Beta 27.0 on Windows (updated today ;-))

I have 'Select Subject' - 'Upper Clothes' as a step (2nd step) in an Action..

  Select People

  Without Select All People

  People: 1

  Tags: "Upper clothes"

Happens whether i run the full action or I step through.  Also tried 'With Select All People'  but only 1 person in any of my images.  The only way to get out is to hit esc a bunch of times, otherwise, it just sits there spinning......

It worked fine until 27.0, and still works in 26.11...

    From a very quick test it appears that 27.2 fixes the issue.

    It seems like the issue has been fixed.

    I received an update today (27.2.0 20251112.m.3292 95003d4 arm64 (beta, PublicBeta)) and now the actions for Select person are working again.

      Yup... looks like the Beta bug made it to production... same issue in the new full version of Photoshop now. Can't run Actions with Select People as a step.....

      I can confirm this problem. Photoshop 27.0.0 official release. Windows 11 latest. 

       

      Created an action to select eyebrows on a model (who was correctly identified as having eyebrows). No other steps. Ran the action on the same image (without even closing Photoshop) and the action hangs.
