The Probability field does not auto calculate but forces me to add a manual entry

In this case please check to see whether the Probability field has been made as a mandatory field.

If this is the case when creating a deal the Probability field is displayed on screen to be filled manually.

Normally the Probability field is automated and works upon stage probability mapping.

Hence it is not necessary to keep the field as mandatory, whenever you update the deal stage the probability gets updated automatically. 

To remove the field from keeping it as mandatory please go to --> settings -->customisation --> modules and fields--> deals --> edit layout --> choose probability field click on the three dots and uncheck the " mark as required " and save the layout.
