I am pretty early game after just picking this up, but I can't fix this issue at all:
I built a staff room for staff to rest, but every time prisoners go to eat, half of them rush into the staffroom? When I set it so that it's a staff only area, I get an error saying "There are no prisoners assigned to eat at this canteen" even though the room is obviously designated as a staffroom. What am I doing wrong?

i think its a bug with the last update. i have the same problem and it only works when i tell that Staff-Room is only for Staff :D but the game still thinks there is a place for eat :D

My prison is doing the same thing but it seems to be doing fine. I would designate the staff room as staff only for the time being.. or go back to the stable build without staff needs.
How is the food logistics setup. Maybe a cell block is assigned wrong?
I am having this error too. When I have staff needs turned off, I get the error but it does not seem to affect anything. When I have staff needs turned on, prisoners rush in and try to eat there. In both cases, the prisoners have a canteen and it is just a basic staffroom (sofa and vending machine).
getting the same exact issue. sofa and vending machine have a canteen for the prisoners. staff needs isn't turned on.
Do you have Staff Needs turned on? Is there a serving table in the staffroom?
Is there a canteen for the prisoners?
I'll have to check the staff needs when I get back, but I presume they're on, since staff do get tired and rest?
I haven't got a serving table in there, just a food machine. And yeah I have a canteen for prisoners. Half of them go there, and the other half go into the staffroom. I tried to prevent it by setting it as staff only, but then I get that error.
Staff still get tired and go to a staffroom to re-energize even if staff needs is not enabled. But if it is on, you'll see the staff needs tab under needs.
You can try clicking the kitchen, then the staffroom, under Food Logistics. I assume you have a serving table and that's why it's acting like a canteen.
