Journal Editors not automatically assigned to submissions

Describe the issue or problem

Journal editors are not automatically assigned to new submissions. As Journal Manager, I have to assign them to every submission. Do I have to make Journal Editors as Section Editors too for them to be assigned so they can see everything on the dashboard?

What application are you using?
OJS 3.3.0.17

Hi @gail,

Do you have the editors assigned to the given section in the Section settings?

I have not had them added but I have added them now. Will that make a difference?

It should. Perhaps make a test submission and see if it works.

Adding Journal Editors as Section Editors has not resulted in them being automatically added until I ticked their names under each Section listed under Journal Settings. Thanks.
