Is this intended? Auto inventory letters doesnt seem to work. It only auto assigns letters to stuff I wield or wear. And even then, it somehow assigns the same letters to different objects.  
The inventory system was completely changed so maybe this is intended and auto inventory letters just doesnt make sense to have in the game anymore but it was really handy specially when grabbing stuff and accesing them without navigating your inventory because you have just read its letter on the log

This was fixed a few days ago with this pull request:

> <https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/49925>
>
> \#### Summary
> Bugfixes "Fix auto inventory letters not working with pockets"
> 
> …#### Purpose of change
> Fix auto inventory letters not assigning letters to items that are picked up into pockets. Only pickup directly to wield or wear was working.
> Fixes #45625
> Fixes #45401
> 
> Fix auto inventory letters not counting used labels from items pockets. Counter at the top was ignoring non wield/wear items with letters. Could duplicate letters as newly wielded item could get letter already used by item inside a pocket.
> Fixes #43254
> 
> \#### Describe the solution
> When picking up into a pocket call inv-\>update\_invlet unless item got merged into an existing stack.
> 
> Use character.visit\_items instead of just weapon and worn.
> 
> \#### Testing
> Wield, wear or pickup items from the ground. Make sure all get letters assigned.
> Check that used letters counter at the top of inventory is correct.
> 
> \#### Additional context
> Liquids inside containers does not get a letter assigned. Not sure if needed as the container does get a letter already. Might use up too much letters if both get a letter.
> Ex pickup a soda can. Can gets letter but not the extra row for the soda.
> 
> Also how the fuck did you manage to release F with this feature broken. Are we really so few using this feature?

This means it’s not in 0.F stable, but if you play the experimental, it should be included.  
It might also get backported to the 0.F stable release, should there be another bugfix release for it.
