Needing to approve pirep even when it is auto on

[dougjuk]

Describe the bug
I have noticed that in certain circumstances I am having to go in an approve some of the maunal submitted pireps even when the system is set to auto approve.

Version
7.0.0-dev+220225.9d368e - Dispo theme V3 with both basic and special modules

To Reproduce

1. Select a flight from the schedule
2. Go to manual pirep
3. Fill in some basic details and save as draft
4. Go back to the pirep add the rest of the data and submit

Expected behaviour
It should auto accept the pirep as it does if you just file it without saving as draft

Tried to replicate the steps.

Rank Settings;

Step 2;

Step 3;

Step 4;

Here is the log;
laravel-2022-02-28.log

Disposable addons (including the theme) does not interfere with core's pirep processing stage and according to the log, looks like they do their jobs and cause no errors.

Will try do check core code step by step to see/find where it fails to read (or skip) reading the rank settings.

Additional info,

• Directly submitting a manual pirep works just fine, so there is definitely something going wrong when a pirep gets saved then submitted from the create/edit form.

• It even gets auto approved if it gets submitted from pirep details page after being edited.

Same behavior also tested on demo site with no addons and default theme.
