1099b inherited stock cost basis

I'm using 2025 desktop premier. I have inherited stock that has no cost basis in my 1099b, and the 1099b shows the incorrect acquisition date.  Prior posts/replies note using the "how did I receive this investment" box and select "I inherited it".  However there is no option available in the 1099b edit screen for "how did I receive this"... This is an import of the 1099b if that matters. The "date this investment was acquired" field only accepts dates. I cannot enter "inherited" as noted in some posts from earlier years.
