Action needs target, in case of parachute, if it above player so it is not a in cursor target detection. in case of player, the player in a vehicle, which is parachute so it won’t work on player

Having an action menu for opening a parachute is ancient by now. BI should change it to the F key... You are clearly in freefall animation and won't be shooting so the "Cycle Firemodes" key "F" is useless anyway. And once your parachute is open the F key returns to normal. That is called Context Keybinding and is very helpful for not having to bind different actions to different keys. When freefalling a small text should appear "Press F to open your chute".

Arma is sandbox but with many strange restrictions. I dont want shooting from parachute, just wants "cut slings" action.
Comment Actions
you can try using selection or memory point argument and attach action to that in case parachute has one in front of player

What do you mean it is not right way, addAction has many params, 2 of which selection and memory point

Right way is add action to player or object and not on some attached objects created for this purpose. The best case is add action to player itself BUT this don't work in vehicles.

did I say add attached object? there might be a selection or memory point on parachute that is in front of the player that can act as a target for addaction. The bottom line is, unless another special param introduced to alter behaviour of addAction the current behaviour won’t be altered because of backward compatibility
