Seconded ...

I cannot believe that, given the amount of new sales of this game, absolutely NOWHERE, NOBODY wants to know which labors exactly are included in the default work details?
"Planter" ... what is that supposed to mean? Just planting plants? Harvesting them? All the other "farming-related" labors too? ... No idea ...
"Fisherdwarve" ... incluldes cleaning, dissecting, hauling fish? ... No idea ...

Also, in the same vein as OP: Which job will take priority over other jobs? (flowchart)
E.g., with the plant gatherer job set to "everyone" by default, I noticed that even my designated woodcutter will rather collect plants for days, then to chop down a single tree ... Shouldn't specifically assigned jobs take priority over random "everybody does it" stuff? ... No idea ...

This is why I use custom work details for everything and have everyone on "only assigned do this." The defaults are useless imo.

You can save new uniforms, but you cannot edit them. If you make changes to a uniform for a specific squad and then want to save it, you need to save it as a new uniform.

I'm trying to figure out why my marksdwarf won't equip bolts for training in the Steam version. I have 500 bolts in several bins, and one stack of 25 bolts in a single tile stockpile in the barracks because the wiki said that could fix it, but no luck. I have a functioning military with melee dwarfs, so I have the uniform, barracks, schedule, and archery range all set up. The marksdwarf squad is assigned to train in the archery range, it has targets, she has a quiver and crossbow equipped. Everything on the uniform is green except the bolts, which are red. There is no option for me to select bolts. It seems to be automatic. The wiki says you have to select the bolts for training, but I see no menu for that. Idk what else to try. Has anyone had success with this? Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Here are screenshots of my setup:
