Summary0013077: Occupy Mission Auto Produces Blank Mission
DescriptionI send my squad on a mission to occupy a territory, the dwarves gather their gear and leave the area, only to be automatically assigned a non-existent mission resulting in them getting stuck permanently. I am using DFHack which allows me to get them unstuck, if that has any bearing I do not know.
Steps To ReproduceSelect Squad, send to occupy a settlement, when time to return squad gets stuck with a mission that has no objective.
Additional InformationIt will state the dwarves are still attempting to occupy but it will show a blank mission in the missions tab right underneath it. I can do any other type of mission with no issues.
TagsNo tags attached.

Update: Seems to only affect hillocks, goblin hillocks in particular. Unsure if any other type has same issue.

I think I had this happen when I sent them to conquer a mysterious palace. My mayor was part of the squad and I had to abandon the save because I couldn't assign any more squads or nobles (messengers) since they were permanently stuck.

I've been getting the blank mission as well just on Make contact missions, which only require a messenger and no squad. It seems to be cancelable with no ill effect via the X button, without opening the mission. I have only done Make contact missions. I think these blank missions only started appearing after my first mission was completed, or perhaps after the generic Diplomacy mission I mention in 0013560.
