Hey there ImColtina!

Thank you for reaching out to us with a report on the conquer war goal disappearing mid-war.

In this case, would you have a save file where this issue is actively occurring? If that isn't possible, could you detail what was happening prior and during to the conquer diplomatic play, anything you noticed? Like civil wars happening inside the invaded territory.

Looking forward to your response!

Some war goals that are invalid will be deleted. The main reason for this is when you are trying to conquer a state and the owner of that state changes because of an uprising, this is very problematic because you are now in the war for nothing and you dont even get refunded for the infamy. I think CK3 has a mechanic that allows you to change the war target when this happens, you should copy it over to Vic 3.

Oddly enough, those "annex country" war goals are not removed from the war when they are no longer valid. Usually happens when you try to annex a subject, add a war goal on another country, and the war will keep going after the subject capitulates...but the annex subject war goal is still there.

This is exactly the issue. I had a civil war in the same state but I still had a front for the state so that shouldn't exactly matter, I should be able to continue with the war goal. But yes, it is an issue since you are stuck in a meaningless war, typically against you.
