For CA state tax, how do I add back foreign earned income excluded on my federal tax?

I'm prompted only to add back "combat zone foreign earned income". I should add back ANY foreign earned income.

In the California return, on the same screen where you see "Combat zone foreign earned income", scroll down to the bottom of the page to "Other Adjustments to Income" and click on Start.  Next, enter "Foreign Earned Income Excluded on Federal Return" and the amount you excluded on your federal tax return.

Thanks. Two minutes ago, I submitted my return simply adding the income back as though it had been a combat tax deduction. I could not fail to add it back and didn't see this other way. Bottom line on tax is the same. I hope it won't be a problem.
