Hey Bethesda, would be great to see in a patch...settlers that have been assigned to a job take the name of that job. ie. Farm hand, guard, scavenger...

Agree. Currently am collecting outfits and uniforms so that I can tell them apart.

+1.

A renaming option would be ideal.

Yes. The person you set up to do merchant routes gets a unique name so it only makes sense if Guard, Farmer, Scavenger, Etc. can be used also. I don't know how many times I've accidentally pulled someone off of one job only to put them back on the same job without knowing it.

I'm also collecting hats and outfits for job recognition. But just naming them would be so much better.

Make it happen!

As a temporary workaround, I rename their weapon ... Like "Farmer's 10mm pistol" or "Guard .45 Subs" ...

Add buildable item "assignment board" available at leader perk level 1. At higher levels, allow assignment from buildable terminal or pip boy.

Would be realistic, and would make use of leader perk.

Alternatively add "overseer" (heh heh ) as an assignable job for settlers. Can be linked to a buildable object, like "overseer chair" or table. Once assigned, other settlers can be managed through dialog with overseerer.

Actually, I want to name them, period. Let me pick my own title for what job they have and assign them an actual name if I want.

I like others have started coordinating outfits to distinguish settler jobs but still very tedious. Naming them would be so much better. Auto-assign would be fine with me.

Currently, provisioners get road leathers, farmers get flannels (haven't located enough "farm hand outfits"), guards get military outfits, scavenger gets something, not sure about shop keepers yet. Maybe suits.

I give em different hats....
