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...
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:

I thought I was on Standard or Advanced but turns out I'm on the "Plus" plan which is not supported.
Screenshots below. I get the same list of options whether I create a new folder and add automation, click "Organize > Add automation", or click "... > Add automation". I'm on the latest version of Chrome (Version 115.0.5790.110) on Windows 11 and have emptied cache and done a hard reload on the page.
Another screenshot showing the available options on the Dropbox Automations page.

Are you seeing this on all folders you create? Are they private or shared folders?
Yes, I get the same list of options on any new folder I create, whether it's in the main Dropbox directory or a subfolder. All of the folders are private.

I just tested in Chrome and see the same options I posted earlier. The only difference is that I'm on Windows 10, not 11. I'll try again from home on a Windows 11 box.
