Can't Drag & Drop Actions to a New Set

Photoshop 20, Windows 10

 

Just like the title says .... I can drag and drop Actions to rearrange their order. But if I create a New Set and try to drop an Action into it .... nothing. It either moves above or below the Set I just made

 

Already tried resetting preferences

Your video shows you are trying to drag a set (folder) into a set. You can't do that. Expand a set and try it with an action.

Are you sure? I have Window 10 pro 2004 and PS 21.2.  I do not have any problems dragging  Action Sets, Actions, or Action steps to new locations in the actions palette including  a new action sets that is empty with one exception. You can not drag an Action set into action sets. Photoshop does not support nesting Actions sets.

I'm quite aware that Others are able to do this, hence my wanting to be able to do it also 🙂
