Hello there! The present is a design choice and not a bug. The annexation process is stopped if the subject is at war, and any of their provinces are occupied. If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to ask about it on the main forum for the game.

General Kenoby!
May I correct one thing: the annexation process only stops if the subject has its capital occupied or liberty desire goes over 50%.
So it is entirely possible to annex subjects during a war while having a few provinces occupied. Which then annexes the subject, but causes any provinces occupied and core of participants to be directly transferred to them.
The suggestion to use console commands is meant only to make it simpler.
Is it, in this occasion, still a design choice?
