Automations: Include option to exclude weekends in calendar day count

We have an automation that auto-approves a task with a particular status within a certain workspace if that status is not changed within three days. This gives another department an opportunity to review those files if they wish, but does not create a backlog in that department if they are not able to review within that window of time. We discovered that the tasks were not "skipping" weekend days, so the tasks were really only available to the department for a single working day before disappearing.

In the automation, "3 work days" is not an option -- it only says "3 calendar days."

In the "Work Schedules" setting, our account has weekends excluded -- we are set up for just Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr -- but that does not seem to apply to automations.

Could different configurations of days please be made an option within automations? "Week Days," "Only Scheduled Work Days," or "All Calendar Days," are the most useful options that come to my mind, though I'm sure there could be other options as well.

Thank you,
Michelle
