Maybe bug: allies attack supported rebels?

I've gone to war with France along with my ally Castile, and I'm supporting rebels in Auvergne (notably, I did not go to war to support the rebels).

Castile promptly went and stomped on the rebels instead of attacking French forces. Should my allies deliberately attack rebels I'm aligned with?

The rebels are allied to you. They're not allied to your allies.

The rebels are allied to you. They're not allied to your allies.

Even if you "DOW" in support of rebels like say "Russia Patriot" as Russia against Lithuania then your other allies will still kill them. At the end of the war if there is no Russia patriot then you pretty much failed the war goal because there is no rebels to enforce their demand.

If paradox doesn't change how "DOW in support of rebels work" then you have to go solo and enforce the demand. I have seen your own vassal killing the rebel despite being friendly to yourself. Depending on the situation if you have a "wrong culture vassal" it could happen.

They should make it so that if they, your allies regardless of if they are friendly or not, accept your "DOW in support of rebel" become friendly to the rebels for a short time so you don't run risk of breaking the war goal.

Yeah, if this is WAD, it's a pretty poor decision. Especially if the same thing happens even when you've declared war on behalf of the rebels.
