Cured zombie villagers no longer change professions

Xbox One X - Bedrock

Just to add on. 

The issue I have noticed, is with a natural generated zombie villager, not converted Villager to Zombie. I have attempted multiple times to convert a Zombie Villager to a Normal Villager, only to be given a random Villager with a profession at about a bar and a half of experience. Placing down the desired profession block will not convert the Villager to the requested profession. Placing down the current Villager profession block and destroying it, will not reset the Villager to a basic Villager. Placing down the current Villager profession block, will also not reset his trades. 

I’m sure you guys probably already know this, I just wanted to add this info in hopes that it might help. 

Thanks!

I can confirm. I had no idea of this issue, and spent a few hours setting up a “cure room” just off the drop tube of a zombie spawner farm, since Bedrock spawner still spawns them. These are 100% “fresh” zombie villagers that have never been interacted with.

I filter them out with a piston, cure them, and no matter what profession block or none at all present they come in with a random profession with about 1 basic trade worth of XP. So it’s stuck in that profession.

Still present in 1.12.1
Pretty annoyed, I spent a decent chunk of time setting up a villager trading hall only to find out I can't use the zombie villagers I cured for breeding because they won't take the cauldrons as their work stations (I don't wanna deal with villagers taking the wrong tables and me not being aware)

Is this still an issue in the latest version?

yes it is still an issue.

IT is an issue in the latest version.

In 1.14.20 cured zombie villagers are able to change profession. They have to be in a village, however (i.e. near a bed).

I'm having this issue in 1.14.30 in MCPE. 

The same issue is in latest beta too.

I just cured a zombie villager that generated in an igloo in 1.14.60, and the resulting villager did not have any XP. So it seems to not apply to all zombie villagers.

Resolving issues that were marked as fixed in the 1.15 and 1.16 Betas, now that 1.16.0 is being released.

It is still happening in 1.16.1

It's happening on my 1.16.1 realm. I found that having the villager in a minecart allows them to pick up a profession

@@unknown If you are able to get the cured zombie villager to take a profession by putting it in a minecart, then you are not experiencing this bug. This bug was due to cured zombie villagers automatically getting XP, which would lock them into whatever profession they spawned with. They would still be able to link to whatever workstation matched their profession. Not linking to available, matching workstations is an entirely separate issue.

It's still happening on 1.16.220. Cured a zombie villager then turned into a shepherd even though I didn't have a loom. It didn't even have any xp when i checked it too.
