Will We Ever Be Able to Use Summary Fields in Automations

Kleerfyre

So I have done quite a bit of research on this and have found the same answer every time stating that we can't directly reference summary fields in automations. I don't want to have to create a helper column for this as that defeats the purpose of the summary field. Has anyone heard if Smartsheet will add the functionality in the near future? This would be a great benefit to the community and it would make so many things much more efficient than just adding another column to our sheets to accomplish this.
