Paid Family Leave in California

Why TurboTax is counting my Paid Family Leave on 2 records,
1. Paid Family Leave

2. Unemployment Income Exclusion

Is this correct since there is a difference in my refund amount calculated if I remove the entry in Paid Family Leave.

Moreover, this field was somehow automatically prepopulated with my W-2 income what is strange. The language in Paid Family Leave entry description refers to SDI and employer insurance VPDI and it is unclear to understand if EDD PFL should also be included here or not.
