Form 1041 and 8453-FE

Hello community, did Turbotax change format for 2024? I am doing my dad's trust 1041 and I cannot type stuff in for example on form 8453. The previous year pops up but when I try to change to this years amounts, the blue box does not let me type and change amount.  

Am I being super dumb today?

Form 8453-FE Part I is linked to other schedules in the Form 1041 return. The only active entry boxes are in Parts II and III. If you wish to fill out the form manually, you can download it from the IRS here: Form 8453. You will print and mail the return, so it shouldn't matter which version you use.
