I'm not 100% sure it fully works because I haven't actually submitted the e-filing because I have a different form 3468 error I haven't resolved but when getting this error on review if I just keep clicking continue after it asks for this number it tells me it all looks good now.

This problem still exists. It is a known problem other people trying to use form 3468 are having. My "click past" solution does not work as I have now tried to efile and it will not let you unless you fix this problem. It is a problem in the software both in online and desktop as I have now tried both. The program believes this number is required and it is not. Anyone using this form is likely stuck. There are other posts on professional accountant forums where they are all also stuck.

This is on the IRS Known Issues Report. There is a workaround provided for this issue. If you enter ""TMXXX99XXXXX" on Line 2a, this will allow you to e-file.

I had the same error (spent 10 hrs having to demo on 5 different calls to get it escalated) - they recently fixed it.  You will run into another error though if you are a sole proprietor as the system requires Facility Registration Num in order to e-file.  I'm still waiting on a solution for that.
