As title says. I capped the secondary objective and then left with a unit before my flag was fully raised. Flag changed the ownership (by itself) back to my oponent's. Do I need to stay on the objective until it fully caps? If so, then how long? Is it enough if I have a unit adjacent and this hex is in my "zone of control". Also is this issue valid for primary and secondary objectives only or are there other capping rules I should be aware of?
Ofc it does not include any actions undertaken by my opponent.

From what I have experienced in the game, a objective (all kinds) will stay yours if there is a unit within 1 hex or you can have atleast 4 hexes surrounding it under your control and no units.
Once the flag is fully raised it wont change back anymore.

That sounds reasonable.
Now if only devs can confirm that

Is this MP? Then it's probably what Fabio said.

In single player scns/campaign play there might also be events triggering a flag change.

This issue relates to a location being captured by a para unit, and the para unit leaves the location before the flag is fully raised.
This reverts the flag back to previous owner.

I think paras in Malta/Sandstorm needed to stay on the location until the flag was raised. But that may have been scripted (?).

Yeah, it's a new mechnic since a few updates ago. Cities will change ownership back if not supplied and no friendly unit(s) within one hex of it.

I think it came with the annoying new mechanic of trains-can't-cross-through-enemy-territory (e.g. making many custom maps useless).

I appreciate the effort but secretly hope for a rollback. It's mighty annoying and frankly quite absurd in some cases.
Still, thanks for the answer and the clarification.
Time to get back to my sherman tank !
