Why cannot edit form 8949 in TT 2018?

Why cannot I edit form 8949 in TT 2018 in forms mode as in prior years? I can only delete rows but cannot add or change rows.  What is the point of this? If I could delete rows, I should at least be able to add a row.  Some of the data provided to TT by the broker statement is incorrect (not reported to IRS).  I must be able to correct it as in TT for prior years.

Did you figure it out?

In forms mode...don't open the Form 8949.

Open the "Form 1099-B Wks (Brokerage name)"

and there is an internal scroll-bar within that worksheet to go to different transactions.

(....lots of editable boxes, many empty, that I have no idea how to use since I just use the interview...but corrections to most fields can certainly be made there)
