Automation Follows Clips

I would like to write automation (effect sends, EQ moves, etc.) on audio tracks (and bus tracks, but that's too much to ask, I assume) and have that automation be tied to the clip when I move it around the timeline. In podcasting we are constantly editing the timeline right until the mix is exported. In video, the timeline is locked so it's not an issue.
I know that ripple delete kind of achieves this, but when you just want to move one clip and have the supporting sfx or music stay in place, that isn't an option. As it is, automation is completely unusable for podcast production, and that's unfortunate. If we want to throw to a reverb for a clip we actually have to copy a new version of the clip to a new track with reverb, so that it will move in sync when we select to the end of timeline and move clips around.

I think this request has come up multiple times in the past. Adobe, WE NEED THIS. Its so inconvenient to do work that needs a change after the TEDIOUS WORK of dialing in automation only for it to need to be redrawn.

On top of this, we should be able to highlight multiple points in the automation and drag them all simultaneously if needed.

Honestly it's embarrassing that something advertised as "professional" software doesn't have this basic, essential feature when every other major DAW has had it for many, many years. The lack of this feature makes my work slower and less flexible. If you want Audition to be treated as a viable Audio mixing platform, having automation move with clips is crucial.

Agreed. I assumed this was in the works ages ago, and if it is not, I cannot comprehend why not.
