Summary0009465: Sentient invaders and intruders cannot be assigned to a cage/chain/pit
DescriptionI cannot assign to pit any intelligent creature that was captured by a cage trap. I captured some troglodytes and dwarves brought them to animal stockpile. I designated a pit to release them and free cages, but could not assign them to pit. Then I built a cage, but also could not assign them to it. I was forced to use the trade depot bug to free that cages.

I loaded another save and tried designating goblins to pit, cage and chain and all was the same.

Strangely, animated corpses of intelligent creatures still can be assigned to pit/cage/restraint. Also, undead sentient creatures that were killed again are contained in refuse stockpile, not corpse stockpile.
Steps To ReproduceCatch a goblin/troglodyte/other creature with [INTELLIGENT] or [CAN_LEARN] by a cage trap. Creature must not be undead.

Designate a pit zone.
Open Pit/Pond information. Captured creature will not appear in that list.

Build an empty cage or restraint. Captured creature also cannot be assigned to it.

While this report seems to have much clearer title this issue is already reported in 0009271, "troglodytes [intelligent/untamable animals?] cannot be assigned to a cage or chain".
