Default Moving automation item to the play cursor

Hi, is there a way to move an automation item to the play cursor? I couldn't find any action for that, but maybe it could be possibile to create a script? I need this because I'm creating a liveset with Playtime, recording some loops on the fly, and sometimes I would like to launch an FX automation for the newly created loops...

thank you

More specification is probably needed.
As obviously there can be more than one AI in a project, how should be determined which one should be moved?

E.g. first selected AI on first selected track or?

(just to be clear, I probably won't get around doing this currently, but I think it's useful / needed info for other scripters as well...)

It would be great to have a pool of automation items you can choose from, so that you can assign a different shortcut/MIDI control to each one.
(I actually managed to create an action to launch 3 different automations (not automations items) at the play cursor, using some actions and external scripts combos...but I think that using automation items would be better )

It would be nice to lock down Automations Items for on the fly stuff.

Would anyone know if

P_POOL_NAME : char *, name of the underlying automation item pool
P_POOL_EXT:xyz : char *, extension-specific persistent data

https://mespotin.uber.space/Ultrasch...temInfo_String

allows us to identify by automation pool and .. what the heck is pool_ext?

You can use it to save / recall data with an automation item. It gets written to the project file.
