Spoke with Proseries regarding the unresolved issue, they informed me that no fix would be pushed out until 4/17.  See their response below.

Work around confirmation "Unchecking the box to "Update Automatically" will stop this from happening until a update is released. After unchecking the "Update Automatically" you will not be able to change the Basis until the update is released. Because the deadline is 4 weeks away all Engine updates are on freeze. The current time line for this update is the Week of 4/17."

Proseries "work around" is uncheck the box and simply don't finish the tax returns.  I was told to file extensions.

This is completely unacceptable!
