  Comments:
there's no question that this is an [n], it's just a question of whether it should be glossed that way.  i agree that it shouldn't.  also, yes, it should be adj-no (which includes adj-f)

[adj-no] is at least better than [n]
I've never really understood what [adj-f] is,
but many of our [adj-f] entries seem to be prefixes in compound nouns rather than adjectives

  Comments:
I think the usage in things like 自動ドア is just a noun in a compound noun, not adjectival. But even if we decide it's adjectival, 自動 
is also commonly used as an adj-no (which I count as "noun" use)... which means normally we'd tag it as adj-no, not adj-f (because that's 
implied by adj-no). I think [adj-no,n] would be better than [adj-f]

(I see our 半自動 entry is [n,adj-f]  "semi-automatic", while 全自動 is	[adj-no] "totally automatic")

Noun usage is marginal
Mostly used in compounds
There is also the very common adverb 自動で which maybe should be its own entry
