Dependent student not reflecting as such in student info worksheet

I have marked one of my dependent children as a student in the [Personal Info > Your Children and Others You Support] section yet when I review the "Dependent Information Worksheet -- Student Info Worksheet" Line 1 indicates "No" for "Was this person a student during 2024?"  Why is this and how do I correct?

To clarify, was the child 19 or older as of December 31 2024? 

That question is not asked in the Personal Info section unless the child is 19 or older. 

 

Is this child showing as a dependent on your return? 

Do you have a 1098-T (College expense form) for the child?
