Section 179 carryover for a vacation rental property shows as an error

An error is flagged in my Schedule E Worksheet.  It shows up under "Carryovers to 2024 Smart Worksheet", in the "Regular Tax" column on Line A "Section 179 Carryover".  The error is flagged as "Check This Entry" and reads "Schedule E Worksheet: Sec 179 Carryforward-Reg should not be entered, because this is not a commercial property".  But I didn't enter this manually and it was carried forward from a tax return prior to 2018 (it shows up further down on the worksheet in the "Regular Tax" column, under "Disallowed Section 179 Deduction by Year, Line A "Before 2018".  It wasn't something I ever entered manually and the software has never complained about it before.  How should I resolve this?
