B and Shoulder Buttons incorrectly exit controller mapping menu

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number 2080 TI
Enter RAM memory size in GB 12
Are you using any software with an overlay? Yes
If yes, can you list them here? Origin
If you disable this software, does that have any effect? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Game Menu
In which game menu were you when the bug occurred? Controller button mapping
Please select your region Australia
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug While button mapping: The B button cannot be properly bound because it also acts as a feature to EXIT the button mapping process. The shoulder buttons cannot be properly bound because they act as a feature to SHIFT MENU thus exiting the button mapping process. Button mapping only works while in Steam. Origin cannot read joystick or PS4 controller inputs unless launched through Steam.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Press B or the shoulder buttons while trying to rebind controller keybindings.
What happens when the bug occurs? It exits the controller mapping menu.
What should be happening instead? It should be binding buttons as pressed instead of using them to navigate menus.

While button mapping:
 
The B button cannot be properly bound because it also acts as a feature to EXIT the button mapping process.
 
The shoulder buttons cannot be properly bound because they act as a feature to SHIFT MENU thus exiting the button mapping process.
 
Button mapping only works while in Steam. Origin cannot read joystick or PS4 controller inputs unless launched through Steam. 
 
This joystick worked with all previous Battlefield games.

  • I am also receiving this when mapping the shoulder buttons. It tabs to a different menu. However if you go back and look, for me at least, the mapping is set.

    @thanatopsis It does the mapping for regular PS4 controllers at least when done via Steam, but if you're trying to do it with a joystick instead it both exits the menu AND doesn't save the binding. ☹️
