Trips Abroad Summary

I'm adding trip information for visiting family in the states. I entered 0 days for number of days in U.S. on business since I was there 100% for vacation only and did no work, but I'm receiving a message saying the minimum value is 1 for number of days in U.S. on business. Am I receiving this message in error or am I misunderstanding the trip information section and do I just not include any trips that do not include work?

If you are referring to the question "No. of Days in U.S. on Business" on the "Trip Information" page then please leave that field blank if you haven't been in the US on business during the trip. Do not enter 0 since this will create the message "minimum value is 1" (see picture below).

This did not work for me. I initially put it as blank and clicked "Continue," but later when going through the "Federal Review" section, it said I need to fix that field because it can't be blank. So now I have to put a value there and the minimum is 1. 

I'm back to where I started. What can I do? Should I remove the trip altogether?
