"WiFi only" option for potentionally data heavy actions

Some actions like "Dropbox Upload Files", "HTTP Request" and "FTP Upload Files" can transfer a lot of data.
With an option "WiFi only" one could save a "WiFi connected" condition before that action.
If the option is checked and no WiFi is connected at runtime the action could either throw an exception or fail silently.

You can use Wi-Fi on and mobile data off actions and execute as needed. For example when you open dropbox app.

No, that's not what I mean. I used a flow to backup all flows during the night at a specific time and want to upload them only if WiFi is connected.
Right now I use a "WiFi connected" condition before "Dropbox Upload File", but the flow would look cleaner if I could omit this condition ;-)
