Why don’t the addresses of royalty properties appear under Line 1b of Schedule E?

I have several properties that receive Type 6 income (royalties) which are reported on Schedule E. Although the names of these properties are entered in EasyStep (and appear on the worksheets in the Forms view), the info does not transfer to the corresponding A, B, and C lines under line 1b of Schedule E. These lines are left blank, which means that property descriptions are absent from the tax filing. Only the numbers transfer from EasyStep to Schedule E. Why don't the property addresses transfer automatically? Alternatively, why can't I enter the addresses manually (such as in Forms view)?

Royalties are earned for a variety of things.  Most of them do not have addresses (think music, books, software, etc).  So royalties don't require addresses be entered.
