Using auto-reply in Focus mode

How do I enable auto-reply in Focus modes other than Driving? For example if I want to create a custom Focus, there's no option for me to enable auto-reply. I.e. if I'm on vacation and just want to reply to customers that I'm away, etc.

I, too, am disappointed there’s no focus auto response except driving.

I have edited the drive response for several years now, updating the wording to fit the situation. I’ve also added wording that I’m not returning “urgent” second text too, since that Apple wording can’t be turned off.

Not the best solutions, however until Apple puts auto/response for remaining focus categories, it’s all I’ve found can be done.
