Hi @lsteele,
Thanks for your question, I’ve gone ahead and split this question from OJS 3.1-3.2: New submission assignment into a new post as it only affects OJS 3.3+.
To confirm are there multiple users with the JM role or is it just you?
As mentioned in the original post, there is an open feature request to allow Editors to be automatically assigned in the same way OJS supports for Section Editors.
Kind Regards,
Patricia
