AI expansion team not assigning jersey numbers to players

Most recent build. AI expansion team is not assigning a jersey number to a bunch of its players. https://imgur.com/a/oB1kem1

Should mention I'm several games into the regular season at this point, so past time for the team to assign numbers to players.

I'm trying to replicate this, but it seems to be assigning numbers normally, whether I populate the team via an expansion draft or leave it to sign free agents. What mode are you in there, and how did the team acquire the players wearing #0?

It's single player standard game, not in challenge mode. Those players were acquired via the expansion draft.

I did use commissioner mode to control that team's draft, could this have been the cause? Maybe that doesn't trigger the game to assign the numbers because it assumes it's a human team? Stopped controlling them immediately after the draft though.

I can use commish mode to change the jersey numbers manually so it's not a huge deal but good to be aware of

Yeah, you having control of the team when they were acquired is likely the reason. But it should fix the numbers once the team starts playing games, so we'll have to investigate why it didn't do that in this case - sounds like there might be some loophole in the logic and the AI skipped something it needed to do.
