Creating a preset with Auto Adjustments

Lightroom Version Number

Operating System

1. macOS 13 Ventura

I photograph recording a DNG file + B&W JPG in camera and then discard the JPG when importing to LR CC (though I may stop discarding the JPGs in future, it's often closer to what I want to achieve than I manage editing the DNG file). I have the JPG in camera set to higher contrast.
I process in B&W.
I am trying to create a preset that gets the DNG file in LR CC close to the JPG created in camera.
One preset setting I have is Auto Adjust (exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites and blacks) but really I want to have the preset auto adjust everything except Contrast, which I want to have set more contrasty than Auto would set it.
Is there a way of doing this in a LR Preset please?

Any other suggestions on how to achieve my goal of a starting DNG file looking like the B&W in camera JPG?

Thanks

I'm afraid not. Auto Adjust includes contrast. You could however use Auto Adjust plus a Curve that increases the contrast.

Thank you Johan.
I thought that might be the case.
I hadn't realised I could use a curve in a preset, so will try a mild 'S' curve as a starting point and experiment to try and get it close to the in camera JPG.
