I imagine everyone playing the game has had ideas of features/functionality they'd like to see in the game. (Not content/story.)

• Ability to "Create an Outfit" — In order to group specific Apparel items together so they're easier to change into/out of (and not accidentally sell/drop.) You know, so you can have your "Working" outfit (armor, etc.), Charisma/Trading outfit, etc.


• More pieces of furniture that allow you to Display items (Like the Magazine Racks)—Weapon Racks, Dressable Mannequins, etc. (So you can display trophies and mementos without them falling and shifting around over time.)


• Ability to name Settlers


• Ability to Select a Settler and know/see what they're assigned to ('cause they're not always in line-of-sight to whatever guard station/plants/store they've been assigned to


• Ability to apply Paint Mods to non-Power Armor. (Even if it's just aesthetic)


• Ability to Trade with Junkyard Dog(s) in order to equip them, like Dogmeat


• Ability to Mod the Dog Armor--I know Dogmeat can't die, but it'd be cool to be able to protect him better, like you can with your other companions

To one of your points, current beta patch has a little pop up when you hover over a settler in build mode. Let's you see if they aren't assigned (Red symbol) or assigned to farming/ guard duty, scavenging etc. All denoted by different relevant symbols.

As to the rest, nothing on them yet. But naming settlers has been a regular request here.
