I know ( o no, I knew) that there is a way to create an action where Photoshop pops up with a question and I can fill in text in that pop up, and that text is than placed into the image. Can anybody provide me with a link to a tutorial how to do that?

What you describe sounds more like a script than an action.

Hello Stephen,
Thanks I will look into that.

If the issue is just text in a type layer maybe recording entering text and then checking the »toggle dialog on/off«-box in the Actions Panel might be enough.
Please explain the intended procedure.

Yes this would be a script, there are numerous script examples floating around the Web. You can take a look at my sample scripts if you'd like, I don't have one exactly like this but it wouldn't take much to adapt one.

with(activeDocument.artLayers.add())
kind = LayerKind.TEXT, textItem
.contents = prompt('TEXT')
Save it this code as text.jsx in 'Presets / Scripts' folder of your Photoshop.
Relaunch app and record to your action the 'text' item from 'File / Scripts'.
