Location Based Automation to Run Automatically?

I set up a couple location based automations to run but I want them to just...run...not request permission to run. All my other non-location based automations gave me the option to turn off "ask before running" but the location based require me to allow it to run each time which frankly, defeats the purpose for me. Is this possible?

iPhone 11, iOS 14
