I was directed to this help article by @Cynthiad66 that solved my issues with the "VARIOUS" acquisition date problem that shows up when I tried to finish information for my state taxes.

My experience:
I had already imported the data from my investment firm for my Federal taxes; it automatically input "VARIOUS" for certain acquisitions. When I got to my state taxes and needed to mark whether or not to exclude the, I ran up against the same issue as everyone else here.
I posted my question and @Cynthiad66 answered with the article above.
In order to be able to enter the summary data, I had to search "stock sales" as suggested in the help article, and then it would let me enter the summary data. After I checked that info against what I had imported, I deleted the imported info. Then, in order to enter the recommended acquisition dates for my State filing, I had to delete the State return I had previously started, and run through everything again (didn't take very long).
Hope that helps.
