MASSACRE: TAKE OUT XYZ PERSONNEL

Sorry if this was asked before, couldn't find any info. How do you actually complete these missions? I went to 2 different settlements controlled by the party required by the mission, it was the right system too. I looked for research personnels, even confirmed on a terminal that they are researchers (their name only says scientist). Killed em, scanned them, nothing, no credit toward the mission goal.

These missions are bugged, however as minimo says find a research settlement and just do everyone.
 
I completed one last night where I had to kill 4 technicians. Workers and scientists didn't seem to count, but Administrators did?

I think that was it - it definitely depended on the type of target. I ended up visiting 5 different bases and knocking off about 15-20 NPCs before getting my four.

Edit: if there IS a bug, it might be related to which faction actually 'owns' the settlement. Might be killing all the wrong people.

The military base I razed was definitely owned by the faction I was targeting and was definitely a military installation. EDDB confirmed this and it was brand new data added by me, not legacy.
 
I had this problem I think during the Alpha, and I watched a youtuber ( I can't remember which one ) doing one of these mission and everything looked correct but none of the kills counted towards the mission - I've avoided those mission since then as I've not seen anything in the massive lists of bug fixes yet.
