After you file
Although you entered the information into the system incorrectly, it is quite possible that you don't really have to do anything, because the SALT limit has been applied. SALT are your state income tax, local income tax (where applicable), personal property tax (vehicles, etc.), real estate taxes, and other special taxes levied by states or municipalities. Whenever the total amount of these taxes are greater than $10,000, the amount you can deduct is $10,000. So if you made a mistake that included $100,000 erroneously, the end result won't matter if you already were above the $10,000 SALT limit. This explains why it had no effect on your Federal Return.
And, on your Oregon return these taxes probably never were deductible. It wouldn't make very much sense to have a type of state tax to then be deductible on the state tax return. So this is why your Oregon return is not being affected.
So if you have already filed and it's been accepted, don't worry about amending it, since there's probably no change in your tax refund/amount due. But if you have not yet filed or the return is rejected, then yes go ahead and correct it.
