Crafting System Bug 2014.01.01

Well, I had planned on crafting some items today but a bug is preventing me from doing so. I can not assign a duty officer to perform any item craft. Upgrades and crafting materials I can assign duty officers to make but I can not fabricate items like consoles, beam arrays, armor, etc. This is truly I mysterious bug that you can craft some items and not others. I have verified that I have the needed officers and that are not out on another assignment. I just hope this gets hot fixed before the crafting weekend ends.
Updates:
First. A bug report was filed in game and according to the dev's in many interviews posting bugs on the forum is acceptable and encouraged if done respectfully.
Second. I would add screen shots to show problem if possible. Problem seems to be related specifically to the special crafting school items. Aka. Omni beam arrays. I can craft generic items and select different duty officers for those fine.
Third. Faction and school of duty officer is correct. Aka. I have a Federation aligned (Andorian) Energy Weapons Duty officer not currently on any assignment whom is not coming up as an option to try and craft Omin beam arrays.
I will also state that I am ranked 16 in the crafting school so its not that I shouldn't be able to make an Omni Beam Array due to school level. I also understand that in the past some bugs have impacted some of the player base and not all of it. Aka. Ship ability tray bug.
Thanks to those who made suggestions on things to check and tested this themselves. Your comments helped me go back and add clarity to my issue.

This is what you need to do:
1.) Log a bug in game and write down the ID#
2.) Go to the Gameplay Bug Reports forum and describe the bug and include the ID# for reference.
3.) Pray that they find a way to fix it.

on a side note, buying the wrong faction bug was an issue for me as well - whoops
In order to craft the special items (that become available at level 15 of the schools) you require a special DOFF which is a specialist in that school, in the case of the omni-beam a vanilla Energy Weapons Officer is not correct it needs to be a Beam School Specialist.
These doffs are available in the Xindi lockboxes or from the academy daily mission that assists R&D (luck required in both of these).
When the Xindi lockboxes first came out these specialists were actually quite cheap (I obtained a full set of FED and KDF from the exchange for a total of c. 50m EC) however now they are considerably more expensive with some of the doffs selling for in excess of 20m EC each.
I wish you luck in your endeavours.
