Photoshop actions started acting weird. in grayscale mode, It stops to open a dialog box. This should happen only when there is a modal included at this particular step of the action. This issue is apparent only with grayscale images. In RGB mode the action works as it should. Why is this happening? It used to be working fine before.

Why is it showing a custom preset?

It is because I set a specific value in the level adjustment dialog box and recorded it as an action step. When I play the action the dialog box shouldn't open up.

Yes, the dialog will open if you have to make adjustments. An action saves state but if that state is not available then you either get an error or a dialog.

You have custom settings. You'll need to re-record this step.

Could you please explain, I really don't understand what you mean. Also can you please explain why the "custom settings" thing is not an issue in RGB mode, the action works just fine? please watch the screen video

it doesn't matter what photo I am working on...as long as it is in grayscale mode. It can be any photo. It can be any channel. I had done this task many times before, and it worked fine.

But can you record such action on your version of Photoshop? also, does it play without stopping?

Your action works fine for me!
Your action targets the "current channel", while the OP's action was targeting "gray channel".
That being said, I can reproduce the issue when recording the action in Ps 2024 (25.9.1).
