Is there a faster way of completing an objective asking for a dweller with a specific attribute?
In Fallout: Shelter, you sometimes get objectives with conditions that are already satisfied, such as:
Assign X dwellers to the right room
This objective is detailed in this question, and appears to be a hopeless case. I recently got the above one (which I removed, since I wasn't ready for a growth of X+ people), but immediately after I got rid of it, I got the following:
Have 1 Bald Dweller in the Vault
I already have two bald dwellers, but the objective doesn't trigger. I've tried sending one of them out to the wasteland and recalling, without success.
Waiting for a random bald dweller to show up could take a very long time, and isn't reliable. Another way would be to breed one, but I'm not sure if I can affect the hair of coming babies in any way (do boys inherit baldness from their father?).
Is there any clever way to complete this objective in reasonable time (through some trickery and/or breeding)?
Best Answer
You MAY get baldness in offspring by breeding a bald guy, and as you suggested, which will speed up gaining the objective, if it is the case.
Hair types do not appear to be "just random", and the same is likely to be true of other cosmetic attributes (and definitely seems true even of SPECIAL attributes).
I've several boys with the same hair as their dads. So baldness also should be, too. On checking, two males in my vault are bald and share the last same name; and no men who share the same name have one bald, one not, so it does seem mainly inheritable.
[EDIT: On further checking, this seems FALSE. I'm doing further tests, so the baldest guy in my vault is now at 100% happiness forever, permanently posted to the barracks and having a veritable harem of every non-related woman in the vault sent to him on a regular basis. So far, stats suggest "not heritable, my earlier results were a fluke." But, am testing further to be sure. The bald guy's not complaining.]

How do you get new dwellers quickly?
The fastest and easiest way to do get more dwellers in Fallout Shelter is through the natural method \u2013 conception. Female dwellers can get pregnant if you pair them up with a male dweller in the living quarters. The higher their charisma, the faster it'll take them to get straight to the action and get pregnant.How do you get high special dwellers?
NOTE: You can choose to skip one Objective a day by clicking the "X" in the top right corner of the objective description. If you want to dismiss more, it will cost you Nuka-Cola (usually 2). Use this to your advantage if you can not complete a specific Objective right away.How do you skip objectives in Fallout Shelter?
Pregnant dwellers will give birth after a few hours if they are happy and there is enough space in the Vault. If there is not enough room, either upgrade or build additional Living Quarters.Fallout Shelter SPECIAL Stats Breakdown

Answer 2
If the mother is irradiated while pregnant, you'll get a beautiful bald baby. Thanks to this guy for figuring it out: https://zambrella.com/2015/08/20/review-fallout-shelter-creating-a-vault-of-my-time-and-a-wasteland-of-my-social-life/
Answer 3
Baldness is inherited through the female. Try breeding the daughter of a bald man. Her son might be bald. 50% chance IRL
Answer 4
Looks like a bug or cheat...
I've had task "Have 5 Bald Dwellers in the Vault", but I only had two of them. If you send one of them to explore wasteland, then recall immediately it counts him up again. In other words, game counts the same dweller each time he enters the vault.
