Confirmed CK III - Salamanca University is built in the wrong barony (ie not the county capital)

Salamanca University is built in the wrong barony (ie not the county capital)

How much "pain" is this causing you?
2

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
I founded and built the University in the county of Salamanca which I own.
This university is located in the barony of Salamanca, which is not the capital of the county and which I can't hold as it is a temple holding. Indeed, as a feudal catholic ruler, I can only hold the default capital barony which is Bejar.
I checked and the bonus applies to my realm priest instead (he gets +1 erudition "from domain").

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Be the owner of the county of Salmanca, then build the university.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
In the files "/events/decisions_events/major_decisions_events.txt" and "/common/decisions/80_major_decisions.txt", the triggers and effects all apply to the scope of the barony of Salamanca. Therefor once taken, the decision gives an additional special building slot to this specific barony.
As mentioned above, the default county capital is the barony of Bejar (b_bejar), not Salamanca (b_salamanca).

I also checked (in game) the default capital baronies for other generic universities (Fes, Bologna, Madrid, Oxford, Cambridge, Padua, Coimbra, Napoli) and they all seem to share the name of their county (ie barony of Fes is the capital of county of Fes etc.), so this bug is probably only for Salamanca.

This bug can raise another question: what happens to building in additional slots (the 4th slot for being a county capital, the eventual duchy building slot and/or special building slot) if the capital holding of the county is changed?

A constructed building in the 4th slot can't always be moved to the new capital as it might be specific to a certain type of holding (eg guilds and monasteries can't be built in castles). But what about duchy buildings, holy site temples, universities etc.? Why are they attached to a barony rather than to a county?

I found this old thread which is still relevant as of 1.3.1.

I also found this comment proving that some players got aware of this specific issue shortly after the release.

Note that the tooltip is misleading (though it makes more sense than the actual effect):
Rather than a fixed barony, it says the university slot will be added in the county capital:

#####################################################
# /common/scripted_effects/00_decisions_effects.txt #
#####################################################

found_university_decision_effect = {
    found_university_decision_event_effect = yes

    if = {
        limit = {
            NOT = { has_variable = university }
        }
        show_as_tooltip = {
            every_held_title = {
                custom = decision_found_university_custom
                limit = { tier = tier_barony }
                title_capital_county.title_province = {
                    add_special_building_slot = generic_university
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
