How do I get the date acquired field on the 1099-B to accept "Various" in the date field?

I imported the form and therefore do not have access to edit the actual form to perform the drop-down entry that other posters have recommended.  Turbo Tax Premier is telling me to physically enter a date in the Date Acquired box.

There is a procedure for entering Various into you investment transactions. Open (continue) your return if it isn't already open.

  1. Income & Expenses
  2. Scroll to Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other
  3. Answer Yes to Did you sell stocks, mutual funds, bonds, or other investments in 2020?
    • If you see Here's the info we have for these investment sales, select Add More Sales.
  4. Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-B or brokerage statement for these sales?
  5. At Let's get your tax info, choose how you want to enter your 1099-B (type it in yourself)
  6. Select the pencil to work on the transaction
  7. In the date area there are two bullets.
    • On one Date, and
    • Something other than a Date
  8. Select Something other than a Date
  9. There is a drop down menu for Various.
