I forbade a large amount of stones to stop my masons from gathering rocks on different levels.  Some stones covered Craft Bins.  I un-forbade those bins.  Later, arranging to trade, I see that contents of the bins were also forbidden.  And I can't un-forbid those.

are you quite sure you cant unforbid them? its a bit of a hassle, but you should be able to view the bin contents and hit enter and f on every stone to unforbid it

So the forbid designation forbids both containers and their contents, and the unforbid designation does only the container?  Does it always do that?

I've figured it out.  I mass forbade (d-f) the containers.  This forbade the contents.  

I manually reclaimed the containers.  This did not affect the contents.

Using mass reclaim restores contents and container.

And I can take Align's approach and toggle these individually.  Initially I thought I couldn't because while viewing the list of contents, forbidding only changed the container.  But when I viewed the object, I could change its status.

I don't know if this is ALWAYS always, but I tried it on several finished goods bins in different parts of my current fort and it happened every time.
