Can we get a new condition on the inserters for checking to automatically use whatever item is produced in the machine that its facing?

I have alot of filters that basically look like this. I would like to use blueprint those and just change the recipe in the assembler and the inserter is already configured.

Its a Little hard to give tips when i cant see anything else in the image, but if you have the inserter going from assembler to chest you can just set the inserter to "anything"<20 if you want it to react to any items.

Or if you have multiple such systems in parralel you can setup a constant combinator going to math combinator with each * -1 = each and then connect with green Cable to all inserters.
Then connect red Cable from chest to inserter and set inserters to everything < 0.

Then you can just put all items in the same Place.

In the case of limiting output of an assembler to the chest there are several ways to do it

In most cases I do use simple chest limiting by X locking slots in the chest.
When you need more precise stuff or unloading into requester chest (say for low tier belts for automatic upgrades) you can use "Everything" < 20 (not sure if "Anything" will work here) to make it independent of product. "Anything" is used if you want a ">" condition.
