glitch on entering property tax deduction

Trying to enter Property Tax deduction for 2024 and when select Update, next screen says "We need a bit more info to see if you qualify, Checking for Property (Real Estate) Tax Deduction".  I can either Skip for Now or Enter Info, but no matter which I select, TT just takes me back to the main Deduction screen in an infinite loop.  Seems like a bug...any thoughts? Thanks.

In another thread, @DoninGA posted the following workaround that I just used successfully on this bug...

 

Click on Forms when using the desktop editions.  In Forms mode, open the Tax and Interest Deduction Worksheet (Tax & Int Wks) on the left side of the forms mode screen. 

 

Enter the amount of property taxes paid on Line 2 of the worksheet.

Thank you for the quick reply DoninGA.  The other post makes me wonder if I could work around this glitch by removing the 1098 for mortgage interest and then enter Property Tax first.
