Summary​

Courtiers ask to join a Holy Order don't actually do so and stay as beefed up knights at your court

Description​

If you ask one of your courtiers to join a holy order and he accepts, this doesn't work properly - he gets the Holy Order trait, but will not actually leave your court despite the description of the character interaction clearly saying that he will.

Aside from breaking immersion and the forementioned discrepancy between what UI says and what the game does, I view it also as problematic as you will get an improved knight with this action cheaply.

Additional note: This isn't a new bug and was reported quite a while ago here, but sadly never received (visible) offical attention:

Steps to reproduce​

1. Load my save
2. Ask Johann von Chilli to become member of a Holy Order (using the available hook boosts the acceptance chance to 100%) and note that the character interaction clearly states that doing this will result in him levaing your court if request is accepted (1st pic)
3. Let him joing the Knights Hospitaller Order (2nd pic)
4. See that he instantly gets the Order Member trait, but stays at your court (3rd pic)
(5. If desired and to rule out a "game-needs-month-change-to-adjust-situation"-issue: Let the game run until next month starts and see that Johann is still around (4th pic))
