How to manually edit an error in forms mode?

Hi. I'd like to know how I can manually edit a form on Turbotax desktop? I know exactly what to enter, I just want to know how to enter it.

More specifically, the CA (540NR) form of my 2017 state return has a mistake in Part II. (I believe this is due to Turbo Tax Software bug that did not update an earlier incorrect typing after I corrected in the my Federal form, but this is beyond the point here). So, I'd like to simply delete the left-over, which nicely fix the error.

Please advise. Thx in advance!

Re-Copied here:

Click on the Forms icon in the upper right to switch to forms mode and open the form that contains the line item you want to override.
Right-click the line item and select Override.
- On the Mac, choose Override from the Edit menu in TurboTax.
Enter the value; it will turn red.
Switch back to the interview by clicking Step-by-Step in the upper right corner.

To reverse the override, follow the same directions except choose Cancel Override in Step 2 (on the Mac, uncheck Override in the Edit menu).

When you run the final review, TurboTax will let you know if there are any overridden values in your return. If there are, you'll get an error message if you try to e-file your return.

The Override option is grayed out/disabled for all the forms in Forms mode of the macOS version of the software I'm working with. I tried everything but couldn't figure out how to actually override a field in the desktop version.
