In the meantime you can go to the Preferences folder https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#Where_does_qBittorrent_save_its_settings and manually edit watched_folders.json Find the folder you're interested in and change "use_auto_tmm" to true: "use_auto_tmm": true

I second this request, currently using the suggested alternative but it would be nice to have the option in the WebUI.

I would also love to second this request. The suggestion by @thalieht works, but not as intuitive as in the WebUI.

This method works quite nice, the only problem is that the file is overwritten to default value false when random setting is changed. Do you have any proposal on how to stop that from happening? I temporarily solved it by changing the permissions of the file.

Edit the file when qBittorrent isn't running.

That is not a solution since the file is overwritten when settings are changed in qBittorrent. It modifies that files when changing settings unrelated to that option.

What qBittorrent version do you use?

Did you manage to get this fixed?

Maybe @Piccirello could take care of adding full-featured "Watched folders options" editor to the WebUI?..

That would be awesome.
