Batch stacking/grouping for HDR

Is there a way to auto batch grouping or stacking of bracketed photos? Apparently this feature is available on Classic. Instead of having to select every 3 images, group, hdr merge and repeat for hundreds of photos there has to be a way to do at least one of those processes in a batch or automated, right? Why would adobe not put that on one version of lightroom and not the other? I can't figure out why so I'm assuming its user error, but if anyone has an answer it would save me and others I'm sure tons of time. Or at least the ability to run the process and go do something else while it runs. Running Lightroom cloud 7.4.1

It's not user error. Stacks are different in Lightroom Classic and Lightroom desktop, and Lightroom desktop does not have all the features Lightroom Classic has for various reasons.

    Not an acceptable answer from a user standpoint. This is an essential function we need and adobe needs to give us the functionality we need. 

If we had HDR batch processing in LR mobile, it would open big doors for it's application.  Being able to batch process HDR, and using it on the adobe cloud and sharing the results in both LR and LR mobile would be huge.

    Don't shoot the messenger. My answer is perfectly acceptable, because I just tell you how it is. I don't work for Adobe so I can't change it.
