unable to claim property taxes over $10k, even if multiple properties

[LO42]

We are owning a second property, and together with the first property, the property taxes exceed the $10k limit for itemized deduction filing jointly, I would think this should scale up, but I keep getting "-$18k" in "State and local taxes greater than $10k" row in review summary. 

I was dismayed that local sales taxes, state taxes and other taxes like vehicle registration fees are all placed in the same bucket limit of $10k. Is something I am missing here, maybe incorrect classification, or other error?

There isn't an error- $10,000 is the state and local tax "SALT" maximum deduction currently (and through 2025).  There is no increase for owning multiple properties, or any other reason.
