Summary0001761: Promoting a new job over a repeated task causes dwarf to ignore
DescriptionA couple times I've had a dwarf doing something repeated (blocks, fuel, etc)
and added a temporary item or two to their list and promoted them above it.
For example, I had my mason doing blocks.
I needed an armor rack and weapon rack.

I added them and promoted them.

10 minutes later I realized they hadn't been made. He was still there, but the items were still on his list. As soon as I canceled the blocks he made them almost immediately.
TagsNo tags attached.

Are you absolutely sure that they were ignoring the higher priority tasks to favour repeated ones? I don't think I ever experienced this myself, and wasn't able to reproduce it.

There were no job cancellations or suspensions I hope?

absolutely sure.
He was an experienced mason. It didn't take him 10 minutes to finish 1 block. As soon as I canceled the block repeated task, he finished the armor and weapon rack so fast I could barely query him again before they were gone off the list.

No reply from OP, no save, no one else has duplicated this report or supported it, so I'm marking it unable to reproduce.

crossmr, if you are able to reproduce this or have a save, reopen this report and post a link to the save:
