I built a trading hall and locked 20 villagers into cubicles to make trading easier.
-Each villager is next to their personal workstation.
Once they are in their cubicle - they cannot reach their beds. I then broke and moved the beds down a few layers to make room for an iron farm above the beds.
1: Iron Golems are not spawning
2: The villagers are not refreshing their trades.
I have tried moving the beds into different formations, in case stacking the beds was a problem. When I place the beds, I notice that there are never green particles.
Although I have my personal bed, I am only using it to sleep and then breaking it (putting me at risk of teleporting back to spawn!). When I place my bed to sleep, there are no green particles claiming it either.
I have slept a few nights, and the villagers are not resetting their trades.

Let me know if it is best to edit the original report. I tried to work through the problem yesterday and found new data.
Realm #1
1: Villagers started relinking to bed (green sparkles) when they were moved considerably closer. Bed could not be more than 3 blocks below the villager.
2: While unlinked to bed, the villagers who had been locked into the job and placed in front of their profession table - switched tables with their neighbor and could not refresh their trades. This effected 10 of the 20 villagers.
Realm #2
3: separate game: two clerics who had been locked by their potion stand for a long time switched profession tables! I moved the two player beds closer and made sure the green particles 'sparkled' in case it is a bed linking issue.
I have one butcher and one smoker on my mooshroom island. No other beds/workstation for this villager at all (mine is kept on my person). He will not link to the smoker, despite trying to place a new one or breaking his smoker/bed and replacing them. He links with particles to his bed each time but will not link to the smoker. Therefore will not refresh his trades as well. Xbox X, bedrock realm.
Linked Images were created in a flat world. The Smooth Stone blocks help show the distance from the villager to the pillow of a bed. In these images, the villager is unable to link to ANY of the orange beds.
1: Now I understand why my 20 villagers were unable to link to their beds - they were too deep underground. This is fine.
2: the swapping of the profession stands was weird tho. Is this a new thing in Bedrock that the villager MUST link to a bed to also stay linked to their profession table?
OR will I have to be constantly re-arranging profession tables in front of my trapped villagers?
Villages in Bedrock Edition require at least one linked bed. Once a bed is linked to a villager, then villagers can detect and link to workstations. Likewise, when you destroy all of the beds (or if the village has only one bed and you sleep in it), then you destroy the village itself and all of the workstation links. This issue is tracked at MCPE-73804.
When you replace the beds the villagers will create a new village and begin "finding" the old workstations in an undefined order that is not based on distance or history. This is intended: see MCPE-47250.
Resolving this report as a duplicate of MCPE-73804.
Please attach screenshots showing the arrangement of villagers and beds.
