How do I get past the “Finish partitioning and write changes to disk” during automated UEFI install?
I am using ubuntu 18.04 with virt-install (--boot uefi) and a kickstart ks.cfg file. The disk partition and %pre information is ignored when using UEFI.
Disk partitioning information
part /boot/efi --fstype efi --ondisk=vda --size 256
part / --fstype ext4 --ondisk=vda --size 1 --asprimary --grow
Preseed Information
%pre
preseed partman/choose_partition select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk
preseed partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
It doesn't matter what is put into those two sections, everything is ignored. Once I manually hit enter to accept the partition information the installation continues to a successful build.

This is old, but I had an issue similar to this and adding this to ks.preseed solved it for me:
d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition select finish
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
This is the relevant txt.cfg section for reference:
default install
label install
menu label ^Install Ubuntu Server
kernel /install/vmlinuz
append file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed initrd=/install/initrd.gz ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg preseed/file=/cdrom/ks.preseed ---
