I have armor stands in my barracks for the squad armor, and a separate armor storage pile. I need my dwarves to all be working right now so I unscheduled my squad so they just do civilian jobs. However they are constantly running back to the barracks and just moving armor between the stockpile and the armor stands. They don't wear it or do anything ,they just move it around. to and from. totally wasting time. Any thoughts?

Restoring armor

Hmmm. Is your squad setup to not wear their uniforms when off duty? I usually have mine set to ALWAYS wear their uniform, cutting down on things like that (also them all trying to equip when I really need them combat ready).
