Summary0002888: Military Equipment screen does not reflect actual dwarf inventory
DescriptionThere is one dwarf in my fortress who supposedly have all the metal equipments from an uniform, according to the equipment screen in the military, but actually the only thing he has equipped is the melee weapon, according to his inventory.
Steps To ReproduceDon´t know how.
Additional InformationDon´t know if it is related, but this is the same dwarf reported in 0002884 (with save included).

I suspect that he once had all the metal itens, and thus the equipment screen flagged him as an "owner of metal armor pieces". At some moment, he may have lost them and is trying to get them back. Thus, the equipment screen says he "owns" such equipment, but actually he is not wearing them.

For military purposes, I think that it would be better if the equipment screen displayed only equipment actually worn, not equipment owned (if that´s the case).

Where are the missing items? Are they forbidden or being worn by another dwarf?

I wish I knew! Do you know any way to try to find out where they are?

Jhoo has the squad set to be uniformed when inactive and the squad is inactive.

I'm pretty sure the check marks just mean the items are assigned, not that the dwarf has picked them up or is using them.

In the stocks screen, the items that are on his Pri/Assignments are all unclaimed, unforbidden and appear to be accessible.

Activating the squad doesn't help.

I think with him being in the loop with his pick and trying to store a sock, he never goes and gets his equipment.

Pri/Assignments shows assigned items, but there might be a reason why they can't be equipped. The items may be equipped by another dwarf who were assigned to them earlier. Putting off equipment seems low priority so if you remove dwarf from military he will still wear his uniform for quite some time until he becomes idle enough to put it back to armor stockpile.

There is also a bug where dwarf won't equip a cap if he has a helm already, even if it works in the other order.

I zoomed to the first few items on his Pri list - they were in stockpiles and available to be picked up.

As long as the dwarf is wearing headgear, etc. the equipment screen will check it off, in my experience, even if it's not metal.

With the dwarf in question selected on the equipment screen, press 'm' to toggle from "Partial matches" to "Exact matches," and he/she will only grab (and show a checkmark for) equipment that matches exactly.
