I get that Dwarves seem to not want to wear clothes, or wear too many clothes or only some. Same seems to go with armor, sort of.

Is there any sort of flag or possible programing... thing ... that could issue a command to a dwarf to put on some clothes. I'm sick of them running around without shoes and then injuring their feet or something....

Perhaps there might be something to make them look for clothing in general if you can't do it specifically?

I get that this is a little weird. Just asking. If it's hard coded, then it is. But given that you can bring them back from the dead... worth a shot to ask it.

It's a bug in the behavioral code, which as far as I know can't be fixed except by Toady. You might be able to get around it by creating a uniform in the military screen with a full set of clothing and drafting the dwarf you want to dress himself. Then, assign him the uniform, set him as off duty, and order all military dwarves to remain in uniform while civilians. Once he's dressed, undraft him. Since what he's been assigned is civilian clothing, he shouldn't take it off.
