Why when Inputting my 1099-R for NY state income does it not save my inputs?

Why when Inputting my 1099-R for NY state income, a screen comes up asking "Where is this distribution from?". The default is "US Government (including military}. I check  the box New York State and Local Retirement System and go on. When I go back to it, it is checked "US Government" again. The same is true for the screen "Any periodic payments?" It comes up with No for periodic payments and I change it to Yes for periodic payments when I go back to that screen it is back to No.
