With the new soldier transformations is possible to give promotions and rank with it, giving the possibility of distinct armor´s. However the issue is the clog up of the transformation list and the chore of making a list and name of the soldiers you want to get the promotion and deserves it
A good way to solve the problem is to make the promotion more direct, in the soldier screen clicking a button and going for the available transformations for that soldier direct.
The images show the issue and a way to solve

Hmm, I probably don't understand.
Current workflow is:
1. go to Soldier List (1)
2. show only soldiers eligible for a particular promotion (2)
3. start picking soldiers you want and transform them (2 clicks per soldier = 2*10)
For 50 soldiers and 10 promotions it's 1+2+2*10 = 23 clicks.
I can't see how it can be done with less clicks than that?
New proposed workflow would be:
1. go to Soldier List (1)
2. open first soldier (1)
3. check which promotions can be applied (1*50)... and apply a transformation if desired (2*10) or close the detail if not desired or not possible (1*40)
4. go to next soldier and repeat (1*50)
For 50 soldiers and 10 promotions it's 1+1+ 1*50 + 2*10 + 1*40 + 1*50 = 162 clicks.
What am I missing?

well you play like a factory manager, and you use a list to see who is promoted and can fill the job , the other way is looking at the stat´s and missions/kills and promote because you like that soldier. Meaning during my playthrough i go back and forth to see if i want to promote that guy (they are always lot´s of options and it takes resources to do so, so i want to chose the guy with more mission/kill´s etc, that i know more about..) , and even if i filter by kills in transformations maybe not the rank i want for the guy.
meaning i want to advance a particular soldier and not fill the sergeant position on the factory.

PS: doesn't work for soldiers opened from Memorial Wall... could be done, if there's a reason to do so
