Can I demand the return of cores to my vassal?
Since the patch that came with the Art of War expansion, it is possible to start wars to reconquest core provinces from enemies that belong to your vassal.
However, when I finally win and capture those provinces, I have no option to return those provinces to my vassal. Instead I can only annex them myself. I can sell them to my vassal afterwards, but I get unnecessary AE this way for provinces I never wanted for myself in the first place.
Is there a way to return those core provinces directly to my vassal in peace negotiations? If yes, under which conditions will this option show up?

What does return cores do eu4?
Return core option in peace deals is not tied with many CB, thus usually ends up costing full aggressive expansion, while with the reconquest CB you get a 75% AE reduction for taking back your cores the normal way (cede province peace terms).How do you release vassals?
In the bottom right hand corner of the menu that pops up, there is a button called Create Vassals. If the button is gray and not clickable then either there are no nations to release or the player is at war. Click the Create Vassals button and choose the nation to release as a vassal.(EU4) Vassals Are More Important Than You Realize
