Simplifying automations

Just wondering if there’s any interest in simplifying automations. Although being able to copy the API from a layer is very helpful, I need to make my automations work in progressive iterations of the SHOW (as I build a show, I may have 20 newer versions as I build). I can make this work by deleting the first part of the API but it would be fantastic to be able to copy JUST the necessary info without having to edit the API in the automation.

INITIAL API=
/api/v1/documents/827996142/layers/3AA52185-1F6E-4075-ACEB-289F0667833A/variants/346C6D93-5EAC-433E-91B1-1B3F7ABE745E

Modified API=
setVariable($timeZone1, “3AA52185-1F6E-4075-ACEB-289F0667833A/variants/346C6D93-5EAC-433E-91B1-1B3F7ABE745E”)

So basically, when I paste this API in the automation, I must first DELETE
/api/v1/documents/827996142/layers/3AA52185-1F6E-4075-ACEB-289F0667833A/variants/

thanks in advance all.
