How can I select "No" for the "Were you a California nonresident during all of 2024?" question? It automatically switches back every time I change it.

I can't change the option on my "Were you a California nonresident during all of 2024?" question. It always selects Yes despite the fact that I lived in California for most of the year.

Where are you making this entry? You might go back to the Federal return and make sure you have the correct information in the Personal Info/ My Info section regarding your state of residence.

In any event, if you left California during the year, then the state where you now reside is is where you file as a Resident, and California will be a part-year resident/nonresident return. You will use the same form, Form 540 NR, to report income as a California part-year resident or nonresident.
