Did you assign him ammo to carry? or a crossbow?

Okay, good point, he's using a "bow", and I assigned the squad "bolts".
Looks like the "individual weapon choice" is not a good way to deal with uniforms. :(

This kinda sounds like 0001374, but the "cancels Pickup Equipment" spam was only mentioned in 0002685, so I dunno. Your call, Logical2u.

I don't have arrows in my fortress, only bolts.
The squad only has bolts affected to them.
So if I understand well, my archer tries to pick up bolts, and notices he needs arrows and cancels the job.

If he was a tiny bit smarter, he should have picked a bronze crossbow instead of his copper bow.

Maybe "individual choice /ranged" should check the ammo list to know what's allowed. And also when they pick ammo, check what weapon they are wearing. (:) <- happy dwarf

Problem appears again with another Dwarf.
This time, he wears a crossbow, his quiver has some Bone bolts inside.

The military screen has ammunition :
- Metal bolts : Combat
- Bone bolts : Combat + Training
- Wood bolts : Combat + Training

He tries to take metal and/or bone bolts from a bin, but stops with the "Equipment mismatch" error.

So, I changed the ammunition in the military screen to :
- Any material bolts : Combat + Training

It worked. My dwarf took a few Metal bolts and left the room happy.

EDIT: It worked for a while and now it doesn't anymore... This time I don't know how to unlock it.

I think I found why.

In a squad, I mixed Marksdwarves and Meleedwarves.
But ammunition is general to the whole Squad.

All my Meleedwarves are trying to pickup Bolts from my stockpile, but since they don't wear a Crossbow, they throw this error and cancel their job.

It's a bigger problem than it looks like as it prevents them pickup the rest of their equipment.

Does it match 0002685 ?

Toady resolved that one.

It may have been fixed. When 31.11 is released, it would be helpful to re-test your save and let us know.

That one seems to be fixed. Yay \o/
They won't take a quiver when they don't wear a Crossbow.
