Zotero Android: automatically download attachments of all newly added items from now on

It has been explained here that it is easy to bulk download attachments, either a collection (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/125067/zotero-for-android-new-feature-bulk-pdf-download-entire-colections-for-offline-acces/p1), including the "All items" top item (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/120830/zotero-for-android-is-there-a-way-to-download-all-files-in-one-go), or by multi-item selection in a collection (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/123653/feature-request-zotero-for-android-bulk-download).

However, I am not sure how to automatically download, in the Android app, the attachments of all items I add from now (unless I disable the feature).

I could accomplish that, though not automatically, by either:
1. Going to "All items", sorting by time, selecting all the new items and downloading them.
2. Adding items, in addition to the true collection they belong to, to a "transfer to tablet" collection, and clicking on "Download Attachments".
3. (Brute force, but fewer operations and less thinking): Start by having all attachments downloaded already, and from time to time long press on "All items" and "Download attachments".

3. Is not desirable if one is not interested in many papers added to the library long ago. 1. and 2. require frequent, detailed, manual intervention.
