Hawaii tax Return not recognizing my cares act 401(k) withdrawal

I made a withdrawal from my 401(k) under the cares act and used form 8915-E on my federal return. But, when I try to file my state return (Hawaii), I keep getting this error message:

"You Must Fix This Error -  Hawaii Individual

Retirement Exclusion Worksheet line 6, total exclusion.

We're still working on updates related to Retirement Distributions that qualify for disaster or COVID relief.  You can keep working on your tax return and we'll remove this message when its ready."

Am I supposed to enter "0" in the exclusion amount or do I need to enter 2/3 of my withdrawal amount (since I am spreading the taxed amount over 3 yrs)?

I tried both amounts and nothing is working. I get the error message no matter what amount is entered. 

Is anyone else having this problem? Is turbo tax working on an update or is this message being caused by my error?

    @janellemanaois I am also receiving this message.  I am not sure if I need to enter 0 as well. Did anyone respond to you?  Been waiting to hear about results from this.

    @huamapu No one has responded to me yet. I think there are other states that are having the same issues. When I called and spoke to someone from turbo tax they told me that it's a software issue and they working on a fix. They couldn't give me an ETA, but told me to check back frequently to see if the error message disappears.
