    Can not switch mission difficulty at mission option menu

    Like the title says im not able to switch mission difficulty at the mission menu screen, i also noticed the same for the shooting range, it wont allow me to adjust the difficulty for the shooting range. i noticed it first started in the pts, posted in the feedback forums for the pts and now it actually made it into the live game. also this only happens to my level 30 characters only, level 40 is still ok

    Hey Umbout2
    Would you be able to share video footage showing you trying to change levels on your level 30, and being able to on your level 40?

    The glitch is very simple to reproduce, just create a new character and complete grand washington mission, after go back and try to start the mssion again at a harder difficulty. Character does not have to be lvl 30, it seems to be only an issue for characters that dont go to newyork, i would post a video but i do not know how to. Best i could do is stream it on discord if u wana see the glitch in action

    The following video demonstrates how missions cannot be started, or their difficulties changed, within the open world menu. Missions can however be started, and have their difficulties, changed through the world map.

    Open map hover over mission, press and hold G.

    At mission location you can select what you want.
    It is always normal since TU12.

    This bug is not fixed, it is still around today. I am stuck with only Story mode for Manning Zoo, and both the map-long-G method and traveling to the mission site and using the difficulty screen, both don't let me select anything besides Story difficulty.

    Your mission difficulty (MD) should be same or higher than your global difficulty (GD), if your GD Challenging, your mission can't set Hard or lower except story and league time trial, you must change your GD to Hard to play MD Hard, but you can play MD challenging when your GD is Hard, because the MD is higher than GD.

    Did you finished the Manning Zoo before ?!? , try to verified the game files, quit mission then try the mission, check your Global Difficulty also.

    I am 6/10 on getting the Manning Zoo Merit Badge, so the system knows I've done it at hard or higher six times. When I open up the Mission, it says "REPLAY" .. so it knows I've completed it before. I have logged out and tried it on a different agent, same problem. I asked a Clan member to start the Zoo mission at Hard and then let me join, but he had the same problem -- story only. I tried both using the map to change difficulty and being at the mission start location to change difficulty. I set global difficulty to Heroic. I set global difficulty to Normal. Can't set Zoo to anything but Story difficulty. I exited the game, waited ten hours, just came back to check .. it's still stuck in story difficulty. This is only happening in the Zoo. I can start Camp White Oak, Pentagon missions, Coney Island missions, regular missions at Hard or higher.
