My footmen have stuff in their backpacks and they do not want to store them.

I can confirm this in 2521 that it still exist

to reproduce:

1. have a worker do a task that collects any object (puts it into their inventory/backpack)
2. before they empty their inventory into any type of storage, promote them to a footman
3. enjoy the item you will never get back unless you un-promote.

I just noticed the same thing. Was going to open a new thread when I saw this one. The Footmen are always on duty and they never empty whatever they had on their backpacks when they were recruited.

Have Fun, Kyth.
