Why isn't this simple automation able to be created?

Trying to make a simple automation that just adds todays date to the “Date Created” column so we know when its been created.

Hi @DerekEmpathyFirm - this automation is available but limited due to the plan you are on. As a workaround, you can also add the Creation Log column to your board to know when and who added an item.

Thanks!

Great workaround, thank you!
