How do I edit my Traditional IRA basis within Turbotax? I entered it incorrectly and need to change it.

When I entered a 1099-R triggered by a Traditional to Roth conversion, TurboTax asked for the Traditional IRA basis.  I entered it incorrectly and need to change it.  There seems to be no option to do that.
