Skip option for date controlled steps in automation

If a step with a specific date/time has passed in an automation, please add an option for contacts who enter this automation after this date to skip to the next step.

For example: 
Date: July 8 2024 - Step Send an email 

Anyone entering the automation after July 8 would automatically skip ahead to the next step. This feature could be turned on for each step with a specific date/time

Thanks for considering this.
