Different results when executing the same batchPlay command

Photoshop UXP Plugin API
, ,
1

Hi! I’m doing some tests with a plugin using batchPlay and one user report a different result than the others.

In general, the returned placeEvent object has a replaceLayer property; but in the case of user B, it is missing.

Why is replaceLayer missing from one of the results?
Is it perhaps a difference in the active Photoshop settings?

NOTE: The code is called inside a modal context.

Code

const temp_image_name = "plugin-temp:/image.png";
const image_entry = await localFS.getEntryWithUrl(temp_image_name);
const token = localFS.createSessionToken(image_entry);

const result = await action.batchPlay(
  [
    {
       "_obj": "set",
        "_target": [
           {
               "_ref": "channel",
               "_property": "selection"
            }
        ],
        "to": {
                "_enum": "ordinal",
                "_value": "none"
         },
            "_options": {
                "dialogOptions": "dontDisplay"
            }
        },
        {
            "_obj": "placeEvent",
            "null": {
                "_path": token,
                "_kind": "local"
            },
            "_options": {
                "dialogOptions": "dontDisplay"
            }
        }
    ],
    {}
);
