Comment 4 for bug 1608871

It wouldn’t be surprising if people are complaining about how Wi-Fi connections are prioritized, because prioritization isn’t implemented at all yet (bug 1538972). But I don’t see how an automatic/manual connection setting would practically help. For example, if you had two commonly-used networks, A and B, and you preferred B, setting A to manual would mean your device wouldn’t connect to A automatically even when it was the only network available. Which would be annoying.

Now, I don’t understand why nm-connection-editor has an “Automatically connect to this network when it is available” setting at all, so it’s possible that I’m missing something. Why does it exist?
