[3.0] Bloodline incorrectly passed down in matrilineal marriage

Game Version
3.0 (PXTU)

What expansions do you have installed?
All of the above

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
One of my characters became a saint after his death, however, the bloodline did not get passed down through a matrilineal marriage (even though the bloodline information shows that it is passed down in a matrilineal marriage). The issue seems to be the matrilineal marriage no longer being valid due to having ended.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
- Acquire bloodline with matrilineal transfer
- Matrilineally marry a (female) character to transfer the bloodline.
- Have the matrilineal marriage become invalid (occured to me because one of the involved characters died)
- Bloodline is not properly transferred when created after this has occured.

Can you post screenshots of the saint, your character, and the character that the bloodline did not get passed to?

I had this occur for a second time. The cause seems to be that the matrilineal marriage had ended (because one of the two died in both cases). Screenshots included.

Will update the OP as well.

I've had the same issue except the marriage is still going, Saint bloodlines don't seem to pass down even with Mat marriages that are still existing.

The difference between bloodlines that are passed down and those that are not passed down seems to be the "no illegitimate" restriction. Since your kids are legitimate, perhaps the game doesn't recognize this correctly for kids from a matri-marriage and treats them like bastards.

I can confirm it works for existing bloodlines, so I'd say the bug is in the checking who to apply the bloodline to when it is created. We could test it with a bloodline that is also transferred by bastards (one of the crusade-related bloodlines I suppose?)

I should of been more specific, i actually saved the sainted bloodline by killing one of the saints Daughter's husbands and remarrying in a mat marriage it seems it just doesn't pass down mat marriages when its created.

Ah now I see. That's a feature, not a bug: when a bloodline is created, it only goes to yourself and your current dynastic heir, nobody else in the dynasty, including children that are already alive. You have to make new babies to get them to have the bloodline. But I agree that this doesn't make much sense roleplay-wise, I guess it's a balancing decision.

Id say that needs to be changed or it can lead to situations where you can’t even access the sainted bloodline I only just barely kept it alive

No, I just had a female former character get sainted. It only propagated to her three children/daughters. One of those is my current character's grandmother. She was matrilneally married and gave birth to my character's father.

Maybe that second matrilneal marriage stopped the bloodline spreading, but it definitely spread beyond the one character. Either that or all four children of my current character's grandmother we're bastards...

EDIT: I should mention that the sainted character's daughters all died before her.
