Is it possible to enable automatic updates for Flatpak programs in Discover? (self.kde)

I can't seem to find any setting to enable automatic updates in Discover. Currently, I get a ping for available updates, nearly every day, and I then have to manually click "Update". I would much prefer for Flatpaks to automatically update themselves in the same way that Gnome Software does it.

I understand the negative sentiment that many have towards automatic updates, but, for Flatpaks, it's a risk that I am completely willing to take.

Update #1:

There appears to be a setting for toggling automatic updates in System Settings>Software Update>Update software>Automatically; however, it appears to be a known bug that this is currently broken with flatpak.

There is a selection for automatic updates under Settings > Software Update, but I swear it does nothing on my distro.

If you really want to have auto-updates you can look into systemd unit files. All you need is a very simple one of those, a script that handles the update(s) and to enable it once via systemctl enable --now.

I recommend to disable the notifications and update manually at sensible times tho. You don't want updates to unexpectedly break stuff and auto-updates are exactly what does that.

I think it's conpatible only with kubuntu.
