Can't use automation to auto-add tags to files in a folder

The Dropbox tags help page indicates you can use the automation feature to auto-add tags to files in a folder. However, this option is not present in the automation task list. I tried adding it as in...
automation
Desktop
Organize

    Talking further with Dropbox staff via email, as of Sept 2023 the automated tagging feature is only available to Dropbox Professional, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise plans.

     

    This list is available on this page:

    https://help.dropbox.com/organize/dropbox-automations

     

    I thought I was on Standard or Advanced but turns out I'm on the "Plus" plan which is not supported.

Hi gem0303, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

The tag feature should still be visible in the folder automations. 

 

Could you attach a screenshot showing the automations options you get when on a new folder?

 

This will help me to assist further!
