this works in Ps 23.5

photoshop.core.executeAsModal(function _executeAsModal(){
        return photoshop.action.batchPlay([{
            _obj: "set",
            _target: [{ _ref: "property", _property: "layerSectionExpanded" }, { _ref: "layer", _id: 1234 }],
            to: true // true to open/expand, false to collapse/close
        }], {}).then(res=>{
            return 'should be expanded now';
        });
    },
    { commandName: 'open/expand group layer' }
).then(console.log).catch(console.error);
