Unable to complete "Thrall Taker"

Bizarrely this worked for me yesterday on a new play through - I knocked out a T1 armourer, broke them, placed them into the world, and let them walk to the workbench. When I then interacted with the bench they were at it popped

Really wasnt expecting that, and I had done this before and had it not work.

This does not work with living settlements on still. It’s been over a month, any update devs?

This still doesn’t work for me. I don’t use any mods and started playing like a week ago. Placing thralls into the green outline does nothing, neither does activating them in the bench or placing them more away. Tried choosing different journey then activating this one back, nothing. Please fix.

My partner and I just started playing again. We encountered similar problems with any journeys to assign a thrall to a workstation. We checked on this over a month ago. Has there been any update to fixing this?
