Cannot Change Shepard for PS4

On the Profile Reconstruction screen after choosing John Shepard and then choosing first name the game skips all other changes and you are given John Shepard, Earthborn, Sole Survivor, Soldier and cannot change it any further.  The entire thing locks and if you try to move past it warns you that you cannot change it again.  What gives?

    Did you choose "New ID" > "costume Shepard"?

    If you chose Jane or John directly the game uses the default option and you don't get the other options.

    @Jamesa2z Seems to be just you and me James. I submitted a feedback/bug report to EA. Hopefully it gets fixed in the day one patch whenever that releases.

    So frustrating! I've tried everything I can but same result - such a let down after looking forward to it for so long!

    I'm playing on the disc version on the PS5, if that's relevant at all...

    @holger1405 I wanted to argue the matter, but the fact is after choosing to keep John for my name under custom and seeing the same prompt as you get for default Shep, I cannot say that I proceeded to the next screen where the customization options begin. So this is on me and I'm just going to chalk it up to being morning and I'm stupid 🙂 Thanks
