How to edit Schedule E Worksheet days of personal use field?

Hello,

I am trying to file my taxes, but getting stopped by an error with my Schedule E Worksheet for a rental property: "Days Rented plus days of personal use must be equal to or less than the total days in the year."

The problem is I can edit 'Days rented at fair rental value,' which is correctly set to 365, but cannot edit 'Days of personal use,' which is incorrectly set to 365 instead of 0 like it should be.

Screenshot: 

 

I've gone back to Federal > Wages & Income to edit the Days Rented field, but setting the response for "Was it always rented at a fair price similar to other properties in your area?" to "Yes, it always was" OR to "No, sometimes it wasn't" + manually specifying 365 fair rented days and 0 personal use days doesn't seem to matter. The error is still present when trying to review & file my State taxes either way.

Screenshots:


I've even tried removing the rental all together and re-adding it, but still get the same issue...

Is there some other way I can force 'Personal use days' to get properly updated to 0 in my Schedule E Worksheet for State filing?

Update: Removing my State from the 'Your State Returns' section under 'State Taxes' and then re-adding it seems to have done the trick, no longer getting stuck on this error when Reviewing & Filing
