On the map, it shows it's a campaign quest; however its only bonuse objective that's not related to the chapters

If you hit 100% with this quest and it doesn't auto-complete, fly to a different area in the zone and then fly back. A dialog to complete the objective will come up.

Thank you, this also solves it when you accidentally dismiss the pop up window.
