Unable to deploy the serverless application Requires capabilities : [CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND]

Hi Team,

I was trying to deploy my additional stack using the sls deploy additionalstack and encountered the issue to deploy the Type: AWS::Serverless::Application. I have added the Transform: AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31 which requires to enable the [CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND]. I have seen the similar issue fixed in sls deploy serverless/serverless#5997

Below is my additional stack template :

additionalStack:
Deploy: Before
Description: cloudtrail for sumo logic
Transform: AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31
StackName: ${self:service}-cloudtrail
Conditions:
SetUpCloudTrail: !Equals [ !Ref DeploymentType, "App-SumoResources-CloudTrail-S3Bucket" ]
SetupSumoResources: !Or

Command : sls deploy additionalstacks --stack cloudtrail

Error snippet:

Serverless Error ---------------------------------------

Requires capabilities : [CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND]

Is it something we need pass any additional commands to deploy which requires capabilities?
