I'm playing Wallachia, with Byzantium as a march. I've ordered him to attach his army to mine, I've enabled the "allow allies to attach" on my army, yet they just run around like a headless chicken. What can I do to make him attach ?

Sometimes they don't attach because they think your stack is already too big. But most of the time they don't attach because AI is completely garbage in current patch and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it.

In the dependences’ windows, where you can see the liberty desire of all your vassals, you can set the war policy as offensive, defensive, sieges, or attach to allied armies. Your vassal’s armies won’t usually attach to your armies if this policy isn’t chosen. In any case, they won’t attach if you are not at war.

On 1.30 they changed it so you need to put your army on top of the vassal army, then the AI will consider following you.
No they haven’t. That has always worked sometimes if the AI didn’t want to attach and you definitely don’t need to do that in this patch.

I am pretty confidant it is exactly the same as it has been the last few patches.

You can try restarting the game, it can get the AI to think again and work better, but sometimes it just doesn’t want to work right.

Yeah I've selected the correct one, waited a few months just in case but nothing different happened.

I did it and they followed me until the end of the month. Bit weird.

There's an art to utilizing attached armies and getting them to attach. One thing is that they will detach if you are taking attrition while stopped in friendly territory. You either need to a) have a movement order be executed at all times (this can include pausing each day, stopping, and reseting the movement so they effectively never move) or b) be sieging/desieging a province.
