Charitable contribution error

I keep getting 1040/1040SR Wks: Charitable contributions: Charitable contributions has an unacceptable value. When i look it is showing 300 and I corrected it to 600 for married filing jointly. I run a check and i get the same error. Go back to look and it is showing 300 again.
