Replying to @ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com here because for some reason, their comment is not federating to my instance.
Someone made a Python script to automate that for Plex. I do not use Plex, so I cannot vouch for its usefulness at all. But if it works half as well as it is supposed to, that is at least a good starting point and better that doing it entirely manually.

Because I set up a playlist entirely manually with Jellyfin, and it was very tedious. I wished that I could have done something like
But that button in step 2 does not actually exist, so it was a very manual process for me.
With that said, it looks like there is a Jellyfin API Python wrapper that seems to be similar to the Plex wrapper being used in the script linked above. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-apiclient-python
And, of course, one could always manually manipulate the Jellyfin database file. I am sure there would be a (somewhat involved) way to script the creation of a playlist that way.
Cool, especially if this helps Jellyfin users. Not sure why this is necessary for Plex users tho, since Plex can make this playlist with its own tools. Although, as I mentioned… it may not be immediately obvious how to do this.
Also, cool for you to attempt to make a comment that will federate to different servers 👍
It may not be necessary, but I assume it is less work. Even if the tools to create a playlist exist in the default UI, running that script is hypothetically basically just a one-click "make a Stargate playlist" button, which sounds like it would be less effort than using the default Plex tools to do so.
After a couple decades as a UX designer, rule number one is: whatever works best for you
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
