Bug and issue still persist for me, when using Humanoid:ApplyDescription(), back and waist accessories get misplaced and usually end up where the hat accessories belong.

Screenshot of what happened when play testing in studios:

It happened again recently, I was using the command in Roblox Studio, whatever I try to use ApplyDescription, it will apply the Body Colors and Scale but others.

But I can apply descriptions with the HumanoidDescription that from GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId corrently.

Bump because i’m experiencing the same issue. I’ve attached a reproduction .rbxl file for two UserIds that it happens on: 1 and 156.

The issue goes much deeper though, I noticed both of these users don’t have assets displayed on the website.

Subsequent calls to the avatar v1/users/1/currently-wearing endpoint reveals that while it returns a Status 200 OK, the array of assets is empty. You can see this behavior with this example and this example.

I hope this information can be of use in fixing this issue.

Would you all mind filing again, if you’re still experiencing problems? The original issue is fixed. These are other bugs with similar symptoms. I’m going to close out the post, thanks again for the report, OP.
