Describe the bug Snippets don't seem to work in automations

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a snippet in the design or data screen
2. Use it in either of these screens, see that it works
3. Go to the automation tab and use a snippet inside it
4. See that this doesn't work here.

Expected behavior Snippet functions should be able to be used within automations. (Anywhere that has a bindable field, should allow js snippets to be used.)

Additional Notes It might be a good idea to allow snippets to be used within the JS scripting step within Automations as having these reusable functions may come in handy here.

BUDI-8214 Cannot use snippets in automations, these work elsewhere in Budibase

Just confirming that this issue is an enhancement to add snippets to automations, right? I deliberately didn't include snippets there since automations do so many unique things with bindings. If you were able to see snippets somewhere in automations and they just didn't work then that's definitely a bug, because you shouldn't be able to see them anywhere.

Otherwise I'm just gonna remove the bug label from this since this is as intended - automations should not have snippets right now.

Can't remember those details off the top of my head from our chat about this one.
