How do I add a third party designee on turbotax online (which doesn't allow "forms mode"?

I am filing for my family member who is blind, so I need to be the third party designee. I just can't figure out how to fill in that line on the 1040 SR form because there is no "forms mode" on the online version.

You will not be able to add a third party designee to the Form 1040 when using the TurboTax online editions.

You could print out the return and  write it in and then mail the return.
