Summary0009529: Mercenary drafted into military drops his personal weapon; it cannot be reassigned to him
DescriptionA human lasher mercenary brought his own whip with him to the fortress. Upon drafting him into the military, he was assigned a fortress weapon he wasn't proficient with and dropped his whip. The whip is sitting there, listed in the stocks screen, but cannot be assigned to him either with the general "whip" or using "specific weapon".

As a workaround, decorating the whip seemed to "transfer ownership to the fortress", allowing the whip to be assigned as normal.

Were the settings of weapon of uniform of his squad position allowing use of whips?

@Detros: The mercenary in question was originally assigned "indiv choice, melee" (which probably includes whips); after he dropped the whip I changed his assignment to "whips (foreign)". After he failed to switch back to the whip, I attempted to use "specific weapon" to select the whip, however it wasn't listed as an option. So, to my knowledge, the mercenary was allowed to use whips the entire time, but his personal whip wasn't considered a valid fortress weapon (just like caravan guards' weapons aren't).
