Description of issue
PC 1.11.12 22d5 - Ideas with 'disabled_ideas' modifier remove assigned advisors instead of locking them

Game Version
1.11.12 22d5

Enabled DLC
Together for Victory, Death or Dishonor, Waking the Tiger, Man The Guns, La Resistance, Battle for the Bosporus, No Step Back

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Description
When an idea with the modifier disabled_ideas = 1 is added to a country that has active assigned advisors (political_advisor, high_command and ect) those advisors are removed and have to be reassigned/reelected by the player. Before No Step Back and the 1.11 patch this modifier would only lock the ideas so that you couldn't change them but it would not remove any assigned advisors.

Also, if this modifier is part of an idea that is added through a country's history files the pre assigned advisors will not show up at game start at all.

Example to an idea that contains this modifier: SPR_political_violence
This idea is located here: common\Hearts of Iron IV\common\ideas\spain_republic.txt

Steps to Reproduce
1. Start as any country
2. Assign any advisor (political_advisor, high_command and ect)
3. Add an idea that has the disabled_ideas = 1 modifier to that country
4. The political advisors are removed (unpause the game if paused)

In which normal game scenario would this situation occur? That is one where you don't have access to console commands

What?

I've created a new country, and I've assigned historical advisors to that country and added an idea with said modifier = advisors are gone like I've never added them in the country history files. This is more of a modding issue but can have vanilla gameplay repercussions as well.

Ok, but for modding it is impractical, but you can work around it by assigning a requirement to every advisor instead that either locks them in place or blocks them from being taken if the national spirit is present.

Sure, but it would be nice if this thing was working as it is intended to work and as it's described. It wasn't removing all active advisors before the 1.11 patch so it should not be doing this now.

Ok, sure it will be nice, but the amount of people effected is very minimal, and those people can effectively work around it too.

Another bug to add to the collection of character modding bugs.

And just for clarity, adding a trigger in for every single advisor is waaaay more performance intensive than using the disable_ideas modifier (if it would work)
