In Battlefield 1 you can track medals. If you completed three challenges within in a given time you are awarded the medal. However, it seems that I cannot turn off this tracking. This is annoying because I want to play some good ol' Team Deathmatch but the game is tracking my progress for a highly objective-oriented play style (repair vehicles, shoot down vehicles) and the clock is ticking.

So even if I don't want to complete challenges, it seems that I am forced to do so if I don't want to lose a chance to get that medal in the future.

Am I overlooking something? I can select another medal but I cannot un-track ALL medals.

The First medal in the list is automatically tracked at the start of every week, and you cannot stop tracking medals. You can however, completely ignore the medal and continue to do whatever you want. Medals are completely optional.

The medals you are tracking are weekly. They reset on sunday night and you will be able to track another 5 medals the following week. Your progress on incomplete medals will be lost on the reset.

Hence, you are not forced to play the medals. You can simply ignore them and play them the next time they are part of the weekly medal collection.
