Collection tab and many heroes/classes always showing yellow "new" indicator

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Collection tab and many heroes/classes always showing yellow "new" indicator.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? lostasusual
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 03/22/2018
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 11:39 PM
In what game mode did the bug occur? Blast
What is your time zone? EST (IET) - GMT - 5:30
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? There are no steps. The problem appeared with the 2.0 update. It's in the main UI (not any game mode). Just launching the program and viewing the main menu and Collection screen exhibit the issue.
What happens when the bug occurs? The Collection tab shows a yellow "new" item indicator, even though there is nothing new. On the Collection screen the Assault, Heavy, Officer, Specialist, Enforcer, Aerial, and most heroes show the new indicator.
What do you expect to see? As there are no new items in any of the classes or heroes, I expect to not see the yellow indicator.
Please select your region North America
AMD or Nvidia Model Number PSPro, whatever card that uses.

I've attached screenshots of how it looks now.  However, when I first logged in after the update, more items had the indicator.  Specifically, Assault, Heavy, Officer, Enforcer and Aerial, and all heroes.  The heroes with appearances had the new marker, but I was able to make it go away by reselecting the appearance item, even though there were no new appearances. I quit the game and restarted, and this time all the heroes and all hero ships had the indicator in addition to the General and Enforcer/Aerial classes.  I was once again able to make it go away for Han, Leia, Luke, Kylo, and Rey by reselecting the appearances, and since then it has remained correct for those even between restarts.  For the ships, it initially showed there was something new on star cards, and when opening that there were no new cards.  By moving the selection over every card, though, I was able to make the problem go away for all the hero ships, and that state has remained since.  However, opening and selecting all of the star cards, emotes, or poses for all the other heroes and classes does not fix the problem.  All of these remain in a state showing that there is something new.  The Collection tab also reflects that there is something new, as well.

Note that although I selected "Blast" this has nothing to do with any game mode.  It's a UI issue in the main screens.  As a side note, "UI" or "menu screens" would be a helpful option to add to the bug report game mode selection.

    This annoying problem has been around since the first Battlefield game. Every battlefield game does this. Now they’re doing it in both the 2015, and 2017 Battlefront games. They sure are consistent when it comes to breaking things.

    This bothers me so much. I have undiagnosed OCD and it’s almost game breaking for me because I’m a bit over organized with my Star cards and such... this kills me every time I see it

    This is one of many things that aggravates me about the game now. Also, I can’t complete the solo arcade stuff because in the last dark side level the soldiers won’t respawn where I can get to them there is only 5 and their so speed out that every tactic I have can’t get it done.

    Agreed. have seen YouTube showing how they did it, but I was not able to complete it either. Seem odd now just playing for clothing on my character.

    The latest progression patch [re?] introduced this bug. I was fine before, now I can't get the yellow triangle to turn off of ANY Hero/Hero ship, nor enforcer nor aerial classes. PS4.

    I have the exact same problem on two accounts for my PS4.  Completely annoying issue that came about after the progression update.

    This happened to all my classes and heroes as soon as patch 2.0 was out. But I managed to fix it by entering each class/hero and then entering each menu option that had the yellow triangle and either changing the selected options (for weapons, appearance, and emotes) or just by clicking on another option (for star cards).

    Every time I get a new emote/weapon/appearance I simply go there select the new option, and then select back the option I want and the triangle vanishes. And when I open a new Star Card with Skill Points, I simply click on any other Star Card that I haven't selected, and leave the menu and it's done.

    Not sure if it'll work with everyone, but it did work for me. Next time I get anything new I'll record what I do and bring it here so you can see exactly how I do it. For now my game is clean of any yellow triangle.

    That's how it's supposed to work. However, the problem is that it doesn't. They said they fixed it with 2.01, but that fix did not work, in fact - not for everyone, at least. For me, it partially worked, now when I actually had new things, the triangle disappeared. Problem is, with the remaining characters, this just can't happen, everything is unlocked at least on the lowest level, it's simply stuck.

    Probably has to do with the new cosmetics.  System probably was being prepped for the capability to have new appearances for classes/characters that previously did not have alt appearances.  Standard appearance now looks "new" to the system but since there is no way to go in and look unless you actually have an alt appearance, we're stuck with the little yellow triangles.  Most likely will be easily remedied once the second half of the progression update is released, since we'll then have the capability to buy/view alt appearances.  I'm guessing starfighers don't have this issue because there will be no alt appearances, at least not at first.

    Just for clarification -

    It does not matter how many times or ways that I equip/unequip star cards, view emotes or poses.  The yellow triangles remain.  New items earned post patch (after the progression update) are cleared in the normal manner.

    Heroes and special troopers that do not have appearance tabs will not clear the yellow icon.  The yellow icon only shows on the main screen and the collection screen.  The character sub screens do not show any yellow icons.

    Beyond annoying for this glitch/bug.
