I have recently made a Homebrew monster that used to be legendary & mythic, but later deleted those and unchecked the boxes in the monster builder for those things. Yet the monster still retains its titles for legendary actions and mythic actions. This is the monster - https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/2260163-z-e-elven-battlemaster Thank you.

So yeah, that works, the only problem is, any idea why I need to do it for every single monster I create? and also, repeat that every time I alter any creature?

If you use another monster as a template, you won’t need to do that. And you shouldn’t need to do it whenever you alter a creature, once it’s done it should stay that way.
Yeah, I know how it "should" work, but it doesn't. I tried using a different monster as a basis, still happens. I tried altering a monster I already deleted on, still happens.

Are you running any ad/popup blockers, browser extensions, or a VPN? One of those could be interfering with DDB’s normal functions.
The WYSIWYG text editor that D&D Beyond uses is pretty finnicky; it's very easy to end up with an accidental empty line (and sometimes you don't even see if it until you save and reload) and it puts unbreakable spaces all over the place (in the HTML view these show up as " " minus the quotes), especially when you remove a word from a line and type in something new. Unbreakable spaces can be handy for keeping phrases on the same line (or for preventing a table column from going too narrow) but mostly they're a nuisance when you didn't want them.
Magic items and feats are usually the only homebrew I use the "create from scratch" options with; it's almost always better to just copy something similar to what you want and then modify it, especially or sub-classes (because otherwise you need to remember what feature levels you need).

Former D&D Beyond Customer of six years: With the axing of piecemeal purchasing, lack of meaningful development, and toxic moderation the site isn't worth paying for anymore. I remain a free user only until my groups are done migrating from DDB, and if necessary D&D, after which I'm done. There are better systems owned by better companies out there.
I have unsubscribed from all topics and will not reply to messages. My homebrew is now 100% unsupported.

That’s why I suggested they view the html code way back in post #2.👆

then delete the errant code in those fields, and uncheck the boxes again.
