Summary0001482: Children that gain professional skills still grow up to be Peasants
DescriptionChildren participate in harvesting plants, so they're always pretty good planters by the time they grow up (how all dwarven immigrants aren't expert planters idk). When the children in my fort reach adulthood they're usually 'Expert Planters,' but they're tagged as unskilled 'Peasants' and colored peasant color until they either skill up planting again, or get some other skill to novice or higher. Then they gain the correct color/job title.
Steps To Reproduce1)have children
2)have a farm
3)wait for children to grow to adults
Additional InformationThis may be an ancient(pre DF2010) bug, I don't know.

Also note that a child that gets a fey mood and becomes legendary (say stonedwarf) will still produce products at the dabbling level. Amnesia? I also think planting might be effected by this, but I have not verified that (ie, expert planter still plants things like dabbling)

Probably a result of the skill rusting due to so many years of inactivity - since children aren't permitted to actually do any work, all of the skill they gained from their strange mood effectively disappears by the time they grow up (unless they happened to have their strange mood at age 11 or something).

Seen this too, in 0.31.19 haven't played long enough in 0.31.20 to say for sure yet.

I assigned him to the military. He remained a legendary bone crafter (peasant) complete with the blinking name until he became a legendary fighter/legendary sworddwarf when he was finally reclassified into a swordmaster.

I can't speak for how good his bonecrafting skills actually were since I couldn't seem to get him to actually use a crafting bench. Probably because I only have goblin bones.

Lets say a child is a legendary farmer (or whatever) and reaches adulthood. They immediately are called a peasant. Usually once that dwarf advance a level in any skill - say dabbling to novice, then the title changes to reflect their real skill in which they are legendary. Maybe you didn't see it as the dwarf was in the military? What if the code checked when they reach adulthood what their highest skill is and assign them a title based on that, defaulting to peasant?

incorrect. He remained a peasant until he was legendary in a second skill.

I have a legendary bonecrafter child->peasant, newly grown in 31.21. The crafts she's making (totems atm) are correct quality for a legendary (superior & masterful), so it appears to just be the profession that does not get updated.

I've had 12 peasants grow up to adulthood. As soon as my peasants gain any level (say from dabbling to novice in something) they immediately become the profession with the highest level. Maybe you have a save?
