So I was just playing in Co-Op Mode and happened to encounter the bug where I spawned alongside the Galactic Republic AI team, even though I had chosen to play as part of the Separatist Alliance (and had already completed at least two rounds of game play as a Separatist).

When the opposing team filled up with human Co-Op players, I was eventually able to defeat one of them after they chose to play as General Grievous.

Following the conclusion of the match, on the End of Match Screen, I saw on the Challenges tab that I had been credited with a point towards the Bring Balance to the Force Timed Challenge.

So I guess the bug is not that progress towards the Bring Balance to the Force Timed Challenge is not being tracked in Co-Op Mode, the bug is actually that progress towards the Bring Balance to the Force Timed Challenge is not being tracked against AI bots playing as Dark Side Heroes in Co-Op Mode.

Ah, but that in itself is a glitch that should not occur, so the bug still exists. I maintain DICE needs to put more detail (or simply the necessary game mode) into the challenge description because MANY of the challenges are very confusing on their actual requirements. It isn't hard to program in a few more words where some already exists. Little things like that that take a few hours should not be left for years with numerous complaints and confusion existing.
