Form 8888 I bonds purchase with balance of refund applied to next year

I have the individual refund flagged to apply in full to next year (option 6 on shreen 7.1 code 13).   I also want to purchase $5K in I bonds using Form 8888.   I get the diagnostic that the refund is not enough to purchase the I bonds.   Is Lacerte not able to coordinate the two fields, deduct the I bond allocation from the total refund, and then apply the balance to next year's taxes?

Thanks for any possible workarounds, besides remembering to manually override the refund amount being applied.

Manually override the amount being applied forward.
