Qrew LegendOne choice is to kill the Automaton and rely on Form Rules. Firm Rules can see the User Role easily.
You will need two form Rules.
Rule #1
When the user is not in the Role Manager, make Read only Status.
Rule #2
When the multiple conditions are true
When
The user is not in the role Manager
The Status is blank
Action
Change Status to Draft
and then remember to uncheck the check box at the very bottom so the rule fires all the time.

I turned off the automations and added rule 2 from above and 2 additional rules for the manager (shown below). The status field is always read only to the user so I did not include that rule. When I tested as the Submitter and added a record the status is blank. Any idea what went wrong?

- MarkShnier__YouDo you have any pink form rule warnings. The 2nd Rule in your screen shot should work for the Role Submitter. I don't see anything wrong with it.
As a debugging idea, if you temporarily disable the other rules and just leave that rule for the Submitter, does it work OK?

------------------------------- Do not have any form rules! I turned off the rules and turned them back on again to make sure.
Tested in each role:
When I test as Submitter = Draft (correct)
When I test as TSM (Manager) & leave Save as Draft checkbox unchecked = Review (correct)
When I test as TSM (Manager) & check the Save as Draft checkbox = Review (incorrect)

------------------------------- MarkShnier__YouAre your three rules the same now as when you posted them on this thread?
What happens if you disable the first two Form Rules and leave the third enabled and test in the Role TSM?
