Summary0000319: Militia commander/captain positions are assignable on the nobles screen, but silently change back
DescriptionMilitia commander / militia captain positions get created and assigned automatically when you create squads.

You can manually 'r'eplace the assignee from the 'n'obles screen, and it appears to take effect, but:

1) when you visit the 'm'ilitary screen, there is no actual change to the squad
2) after visiting the 'm'ilitary screen, the assignee has silently switched back to the real squad leader

Probably the simplest fix is to just prevent 'r'eplacing the military positions (unless there is some reason for wanting the leadership position not match the squad leader that I don't understand)
Steps To ReproduceCreate a squad from the 'm'ilitary screen.
Go to the 'n'obles screen, note the militia commander is assigned to the squad leader.
'r'eplace the militia commander with some other dwarf.
Unpause, wait a bit, go back to 'n'obles, the other dwarf is still assigned.
Go to the 'm'ilitary screen, note that the actual squad leader has not changed.
Go to the 'n'obles screen, note that the militia commander has reset back to the real squad leader again.

Second-to-last reproduction step should refer to the 'm'ilitary screen, not squad screen. (Any way to edit the original report? I don't see an option for that)
