Is it possible to copy and paste the rotation of a Smart Object?

[HeyoThere]

In Photoshop, a Smart Object has it's rotation value stored, I'm wondering if it's possible to get this value so as to copy and paste it to another selected layer so I wouldn't have to do this manually every time.

So, in summary, is it possible to make a code that copies the rotation value of a Smart Object and then another complementary code that would paste that rotation into another selected Smart Object Layer?

Thank you, I did look for it before asking but there were thousands of results and the first ones weren't giving me the answer, and I saw one saying it wasn't possible, so I thought I should ask to make sure, but yeah, this helps, thank you!

You're welcome, getting the value is one thing, setting the value another. Please do update your topic with code or further findings, thanks.
