I want to control my officer assignments manually, but I want to use automated promotions. However, officers don't seem to be being promoted. I tried turning on auto assignments, and four officers immediately promoted to level 2. Does auto-promotion not work with manual assignments?

Correct. Auto-promotion now works on-demand, so officers will only promote if there is an (automated) assignment open which requires the higher rank.
I recommend using automated assignments anyways. It might sound fun to handle assignments manually, but in practice you will soon have hundreds if not thousands of officer roles to manage and doing this manually will very quickly become tedious.

You can also manually fill some positions you consider important or move some officers for RP reasons with auto assign on and not have to worry about the 65 commanders of boarding parties , and the 200 cohort commadners etc

That's a shame, but fair enough. Thanks, folks.

Additionally, if you really want direct control over a small subset of your officers, you can set them to "Do not promote". That will make them stay at their rank until you manually promote them. You can also set them to "story character", which will prevent them from ever dying of old age or disease (they can still be blown to smithereens).
