I don't know about 1031 exchanges. However, I do know a "possible" reason you're being asked for sales information after selecting "YES" on the Special Handling Required screen. (I'm not sure with a 1031 exchange, but I think you are correct to select YES on the Special Handling Required screen.)
Before you got to the assets section, towards the beginning of the SCH E section there's a screen in the Property Profile section where you need to select the option for "I sold or disposed of this property in 2023".
Once that's selected, then the section for assets should be titled "Sale of Property/Depreciation". Then when you click YES on the special handling screen, you shouldn't be prompted for sales information.
