Feature request: automatic assigment of all guest editors of special issues

[smilius42]

Dear colleagues,

special issues in LMCS mostly have several guest editors. It turns out that more often than not they'd like that all of them can see (and handle) all submissions in the special issue volume. Feature request: please add an option to special issue volumes so that all editors of the special issue are assigned when an author makes his submission. The authors should not be able to choose editors when this option is enabled.

Best, Stefan

Isn't that already possible with the "Journal > settings> Editors settings section > When an article is submitted, assign: > Special volume editors radio button" ?

Maybe - it looks like it should do this. But I see no documentation of this setting in the user's guide: https://doc.episciences.org/en/users-guide/journal-settings/ So it's hard to know what exactly this does (and I have no time now to test it in the sandbox). Maybe the old support ticket I copied was not closed when that radio button was introduced?
