The game keeps reassigning my companions to Infantry (I) formation

[Monkey]

I've recruited Abigail, a Fatherless, three Aserai Wanderers, two Silents and a Spicevendor.
I've equipped them all with war horses, bows and arrows in the first and second equipment slots, respectively, and a one-handed sword and a two-handed polearm in the third and fourth slots, respectively.
I've then assigned them to Horse Archer (IV) formation since I want them to behave as horse archers primarily or at least stay with the Horse Archer formation when I give the orders.
My horse archers are naturally automatically assigned to IV.
I've assigned my inexperienced (tier 3 and below) horse archers to "Skirmisher" in order to have them attack lower tier enemies alone while the experienced horse archers stay back. I do this in order to promote them faster.

What happens is on the first battle they're all where they're supposed to be, though I shout "Cavalry" when I press IV (while they're supposed to be "Horse Archers") but that's not too bad I gues, however after a while, and I'm not sure what causes this (I'll edit the post once I find out - might be after assigning a companion to a quest), the game reassigns Abigail to Cavalry (III) formation and my other companions to Infantry (I) formation.

Has it happened to anybody else? What causes it? Is it a bug?

Game does not save your group assignments between reloads. Every time you exit and then start game again, you have to assign them again as they will be in default groups.

Thanks for the mod advice. For me, unsaved formations is the most annoying "bug" at the moment. ?

Thanks. Those assignments should be saved though. The game should also be smarter and autoassign companions to formations according to their equipment loadout, assuming I don't manually set anything.

I am pretty sure finished game will.

Thanks for the heads up. I should take that list and bug reporting more seriously. The developers have been doing an outstanding work with the frequent patches
