Villagers sometimes change trades within professions
Summary: Sometimes our villagers will emit anger particles and change their trades and reset their level back to Level 1 without us breaking their workstations!
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Somehow obtain a villager (/summon villager, spawn egg, etc.)
2. Trade with said villager
3. Wait. It might emit particles (the angry ones) and change their trades, but not professions.
Expected Results:
The villagers never change their trades or levels once traded with.
Observed Results:
The villagers eventually change their trades and reset levels without any player input.
This has happened in one specific world with players on many different platforms, including Windows 10, Android, and iOS.
Edit: This has happened, in addition to that one specific world, on a realm as well.
Edit 2: I may have found the cause of the issue. I think when our villagers don't sleep, they can reset their trades and levels but sometimes they don't. Hopefully that helps!

I am hearing numerous reports of this, MCPE-115000, and MCPE-131043 from players here on the tracker and in discord communities. I think there is a good chance it’s all be the same bug. There are no specific steps to reproduce yet. Since I had only added the zombie villager detail to this report when I thought I could repro it with naturally-generated zombie villagers but now I can’t, I am going to remove that and reopen the ticket.

Nope, that issue in MCPE-104792 is definitely working as intended. I'm aware of zombie discount mechanics. And I'm aware that at one point, discounts in Bedrock immediately results in villagers trading one carrot for one emerald, but that got changed in a later update to match Java, requiring 5x curing for that to happen. But that's irrelevant.
So, I have farmer villagers from early 1.15, before zombie discounts are introduced. They still have old trades (16 eggs > 1 emerald). Immediately after the zombie discount update is introduced, I zombified and cured them 1x . They ask for one carrot for one emerald, which is working as intended at that point in time, but they still ask for 16 eggs for one emerald. Some trades seem to be unaffected by zombie discounts. Even after a later update, when zombie discounts got nerfed, some of those trades are still completely unaffected by zombie discounts.
Might be worth experimenting and playing around with zombie curing and villagers in general, as there are some bugs there. MCPE-130623 MCPE-115000 MCPE-128666 comes to mind.

Cannot reproduce.
Can confirm!
I don't see how MCPE-119736 could trigger this issue, since this issue is reported for 1.16.201, but MCPE-119736 is reported only for 1.16.220 betas.
Does this occur with naturally-generated villagers at all, or only with villagers created from spawn eggs, summon commands, etc.?
This often occurs with naturally spawned villagers.
MCPE-119736 happens in 1.16.210, where this is happening in our realm.
Can anyone confirm that MCPE-119736 causes this issue?
Experiencing what appears to be a variation on this issue:
(This is in a naturally generated survival village)
Between this, the bug that allows villagers to attach to workstations they cannot pathfind to, and the bug that requires pumpkins be placed with the player facing north before farmers will buy them, villages are not valuable or reliable resources in Bedrock as it stands currently.
I've encountered this bug before when zombie villager discounts got added in Minecraft. I was zombifying and curing villagers in the middle of the night, close to dawn. And after curing, one of my villagers changed professions, even though I've traded with him and thus locked the job.
Molly Oliver That sounds more like MCPE-117852.
Can confirm in 1.17.40 in my own private Realm (see attachment). The first trade I made with the villager was Looting 3 for 17 emeralds (I applied it to my sword). After I moved its workstation position, the trade was changed (now offering Looting 2 for 8 emeralds).
How's this bug going? I am wishing to make a trading hall and I wish to not put any beds with the villagers (since this sometimes cause problems like villagers siffocating or glitching out of their stations). I really hope this problem gets solved, because nobody wants spending a lot amount of time getting a certain type of trade, and then suddenly it changes into something else.
