How to change my occupation from consultant to retired in state filing?

After I was retired over ten years ago, I did some consulting job until 2023, so I always claim my occupation as consultant.   In 2024 I essentially stopped my consulting work.  Thus, I decided to change my occupation from consultant to retired.  I did this with no problem in Federal filing portion.  However, after doing that, in the California state filing portion, TurboTax still shows my occupation as consultant and it does not give me a option to change.  The closest thing I found was in the Business Summary section.  Under the Principal Business subsection, it listed as Consultant with an Edit button.  However, when I clicked on it, it did not give me the option to change it to Retired.  Can somebody tell me how to do that?  Thanks in advance!
