[OJS 3.1.2.4] Strange behavior when assigning participants

Hi @ramon,

Thanks for your question. Kindly see this related forum post - [OJS 3.1.2.4] Automatically assigning a user with assistant permission to new submissions - #5 by pmangahis for the rationale on this.

If you do have multiple Editors enrolled in your journal, it would be helpful to check whether you have set up your Sections to automatically assign submissions to Editors.

Kind Regards,
Patricia
