So with the bizarre decision by YouTube to remove the feature available for creators to setup rules for their created playlists and be able to have videos they upload to their channels automatically sorted and added to playlists defined by rules, meaning now we have to remember to go an manually add videos to playlists once they are published. Could we see a feature or function added into TubeBuddy to renable this much useful and time saving feature to Creators? YouTube don't seem to offer any alternative to Creators in Studio or seem to have any plans to add a new way achieving this feature for users on the Platform.

Yes, please! No idea why they have removed this and it would be great to have a similar feature on TB. For our projects, we heavily rely on auto-add for our multilanguage videos (we add a code e.g. TTG_FR to indicate show and language to filter into the correct playlists). Having to do this manually is causing a lot of issues. It also helps with creating playlists for bulk updating with TB, i.e. playlist filter all videos with Batman in the title if we are bulk updating Batman descriptions.

They're currently working on a set of rules, so for us it would be difficult to make something since they're working on it :X

Yeah Playlists seem to be the last on the list of priorities for YouTube. They've only just transitioned captions over to New Studio and it still has a few bugs, so I wouldn't expect to see anything with playlists until next year.
Which is a shame because Playlists are a pretty powerful feature of YouTube yet YouTube treats them as an afterthought.

Once they've been moved over, then TubeBuddy will probably be able to start working on some features for it, but until it's moved over to new studio, it would be kind of pointless without knowing how Playlists will be implemented into the new studio.
