As Austria, I'm at war with none and Allied to Prussia, GB and Russia; I tried for 1 hour to select the following "call to allies" condition:
If aggressor is Turkey: Call Russia, GB
If aggressor is France: Call Russia, GB, Prussia
No matter how I tried, I had to select the same options for all agressors.

Moreover, the whole behavior of the check boxes is strange; it looks like the "allies" checkbox reset to a preset state when a new "aggressor" checkbox is selected; the final user experience is very similar to playing a reversi game.

Hanbarca:
 
Each ally should have its own options for aggressor / defender. Are you saying they are not clearing? When you select a different ally then you should see all aggressor / defender options change.

I know, the problem is exactly that I wasn't able to select different settings for different aggressors.
I had no problems setting it for a single aggressor, but it doesn't seem to work if you have 3 allies and want different calls for 2 different aggressor.

I selected first:
If aggressor is France: call GB, PRussia, Russia

Then I tried to move on aggressor Turkey and remove the call to Prussia, but no matter what I tried the settings I selected changed back when I moved the focus to another object.

My sensation (could be totally wrong) is that when you select a line in the aggressor list a procedure is fired that resets the status of the allies checkbox in a wrong way (maybe some problem with some array index) ?

Try it this way:

Using your examples (Russia, Great Britain and Prussia are Austria’s allies):

Click to highlight Russia in the “Allies To Call” box (you can only highlight one major power at a time) then click to choose Turkey and France from the “if aggressor/defender is” box. When finished, return to the “Allies To Call” box and click to highlight Great Britain (the if aggressor/defender is” box will show the current setting for the ally to call. Default is no checked boxes), and then click to choose Turkey and France from the “if aggressor/defender is” box. Lastly, return to the “Allies To Call” box and click to highlight Prussia and then click to choose France from the “if aggressor/defender is” box.

It worked
I was using it in the opposite way, selecting first the aggressor and then the allies to call.

Thanks!
