This is happening in recent games, which in turn prevents Italy from sending a significant number of voluntary divisions (there are usually 7) and now with this problem, only 3 divisions at most.
I think that my problem of volunteers should be treated because, due to the low opinion of Nationalist Spain to Italy for 'Different ideology', it drastically decreases the limit of volunteers.
Obviously, I do not know the root/cause of the problem and I am simply limiting myself to commenting on a consequence of it.

Do you mean Nationalist Spain winning the Civil War, or that the Nationalist Spain tag goes Carlist instead of Fascist?

Anyone else noticed? Is this working as intended?
I believe it is working as intended. The devs wanted it to be extraordinarily difficult to get Spain to join the axis, hence making them essentially non aligned. If you look at their political party popularity breakdown late game it’s a 50/50 split nonaligned and fascist. This was done to make Spain’s behavior more historically accurate.

This is happening in recent games, which in turn prevents Italy from sending a significant number of voluntary divisions (there are usually 7) and now with this problem, only 3 divisions at most.
I think that my problem of volunteers should be treated because, due to the low opinion of Nationalist Spain to Italy for 'Different ideology', it drastically decreases the limit of volunteers.

I do not think opinion has an effect on the volunteer cap (beyond the AI flat out refusing to accept any if they hate you). Take a look at the wiki article on volunteers for clarity:

There is a British focus that helps keep Nationalist Spain unaligned too
The boost in ideology depends what ideology the UK is. Although I don't think the UK AI gets a chance to do it before Spain joins the Axis.
They might also go for the focus which boosts defence in Gibraltar which is mutually exclusive, with the above mentioned focus.

Good as that is historical. It was nationalist, with fascists elements in their government, not a fascists government. Although it somewhat sucks for my non aligned Portugal strategy.

If Spain doesn't go one specific focus they don't get one German general, so Turkey instead can get him over focus.
In past game runs I would nearly never get that German general because Spain would already have him, but in my later gameplays I can get it - It means Spain intentionally doesn't take some focuses that it was taking before.
