Ticket is attached to device, but not the owner of the device

I had a couple questions about best practices when creating tickets. We've noticed that when creating tickets for chromebooks or iPads using the "New Ticket" Button,  once the ticket has been created the ticket doesn't attach the owner as " requested on behalf of " unless we do it manually after. Is this normal? If I create a ticket on the device info page it does attach the asset owner automatically. Is there a reason for this? or is it just a glitch?
