2021 Form 1120S Statement A - efiling error message

I got through the initial error check on my 2021 form 1120-S with no errors. However, when I go to e-file, there is a new error message requiring the Shareholder Name and Shareholder EIN on "Statement A - QBI Pass-through Entity Reporting" that prevents me from e-filing. First of all, the shareholders are individuals and don't have an "EIN" (they have a TIN which is their SSN). I tried to "open" the form to manually edit the fields, but I am unable to type anything in. Also, the format field for "EIN" is 2 digits/7 digits instead of the standard format for a SSN. The corporation name and EIN are also not populated on the statement. Why isn't this information automatically carried over from the K-1 info already entered? Please fix this so I don't have to kill a bunch of trees and pay for postage to file by mail.
