How do you add a political advisor to the nation through a focus? Rather not create a new advisor, but take one from the ideas tab and add it as an estyablished member of the government. I have been using the command;

add_ideas = TAG_Political_Advisor

It says "Will add "Political Advisor" but then will not add the advisor. It works when I do it for "industrial concern." Is it just broken? Different command? Simply just cant add a political advisor to the government through focus?

Thank you for your time, any bit of help is well appreciated. Thank you.

Looking at the Soviet events for the NKVD it seems that uses:

activate_advisor = SOV_nikolay_yezhov

So you'd do: activate_advisor = TAG_Political_Advisor

However, I'm unsure how you would go about checking that there is a free advisor slot and removing someone if not.
