March and Repair available on same (upgraded) armor unit. Bug?

[Lochlann]

I recently upgraded a Cavalry unit to Landship and then Tank, and upon the unit's next promotion, the Repair promotion was available to it. Only thing is, I had previously chosen March for an earlier promotion, before upgrading the unit to Armor.

Fair to say that this is a bug, since the two promotions are identical? I went ahead and chose Repair (after saving) to see what would happen, and there was no doubling of the heal effect or anything. Not in enemy territory, at least.

I was just wondering about these promotions. Do the effects stack? or once the unit becomes armored does march become obsolete?

That's what happens

Well, depends on what you mean by "obsolete". The March promotion continues to function on the Armored unit as it did on the Cavalry unit, with healing proceeding as normal, so it's not obsolete in that manner. It is obsolete in that an Armored unit can no longer choose the March promotion if it didn't already have it previously, though, yes.

I'm still wondering if the availability of Repair in this situation is a bug, albeit a minor & harmless one. Seems pretty obvious that a unit with March should not be able to take Repair as well.

I haven't tried it in BNW, but in G&K and earlier, the two did not stack.

so if I am getting close to upgrading a unit to have armor properties I should hold off on March, and get Repair after the change. thanks for your advice!

No, the takeaway here is that it doesn't matter which one you get. Go ahead and get March now, if you'd like; it will continue to work after the upgrade to Armor. It won't stack with Repair, but it will work normally. Or you could wait and get Repair. There's no difference.
