For UNLIMITED plan - allow using UNLIMITED filters and conditions in automations

Why am I LIMITED with the automation rules?
I'm a one man operation, no team members no nothing.
I want UNLIMITED automation flexibility for my personal use if I'm a paying user.

Why is Actions and Conditions not included in Unlimited plan? I'm only a one man team, I don't need most of the other stuff in the higher tier plans, so my only motivation to paying the Unlimited plan was for the Automation, but in it's current arrangement it is not viable...

If unlimited automatons cost too much, just increase the limit to 2 condition and actions.

So automations without conditions is like a car without gas - useless.
Take the simplest kind of automation you can think of - a forwarding an email to your Click Up . . . so your accountant sends you the year end reports for you to look at in PDF. You are busy 'doing business' right now and will look into that later. You 'would like' to set any tasks created by email to set their date and time to 8am tomorrow morning, as that is when you do your day planning, and if you watch any ClickUp Level Up video they all say - every task SHOULD have a time. No worries, we got automations to do the job . . . or do we.
As an UNLIMITED plan user we get Triggers but NOT conditions. So I can say "When a new task is created . . " => Set the date to tomorrow and time to 8am. But I do not want it to apply to every task I create (even if they do have a date and time already). Only the ones where the time is missing (i.e ALL email ones) so we need . . .
"When a new task is created . . " => && Start Time is NULL => Set the date to tomorrow and time to 8am
Viola easy - if you are on Business (insert sad sad face).
So how about 1 or 2 conditions at the minimum huh. Let business have conditions coming out their wazoo but for us lonely single Unlimited accounts give us at least 1 condition else Automations have very little use to us.

Thanks for raising this issue. Lovely way of explaining it. It's an unlimited plan, but only on the name.
It's awful that we can't have conditions in automations, but it makes no sense that we need another plan to make conditions around "due date". Due date is sooo differently taken into account depending on lists and objectives that they end up meaning different things.
Sometimes I need automations for tasks when due date comes, but only if they are on a Done status or something similar.
It's discouraging that this request has been open for one year.

100% agree
if the problem is usage of their servers, allowing conditions and stuff decrease the server use?? because other then that I don't see any reason to do that... apart from greed that is...

Agreed on this 100%!
I understand ClickUp is geared toward team operations, but the customization and automations is what appealed to me as a single-user.
I agree that I shouldn't have to pay $4 more a month to receive seats that I will never fill, just so that the automations are more functional.
I don't mind automations being limited to 1,000 a month (that seems completely reasonable). It is a little frustrating that they are limited in terms of functionality, especially since the technology already exists for them not to be.

Btw mind maps too, the same thing...
