How to Check "Full-Time Student" on Form 1040 Page 1 - Dependents

I have a client that is claiming the Credit for Other Dependents, for a child between 18 and 24 that is a full-time student.

The $500 credit is calculating, however, I cannot figure out how to check the box in column 6: "Check if Full-Time Student" on the front page of the 1040. 

Again, it doesn't affect the calculation of the credit, but I need to be able to check the box, to indicate that this dependent is a full-time student.

I've searched the Quick Search and cannot find any input screen that leads to this box being checked. Has anybody else run into this problem? Any solutions?

I am using ProConnect Tax, specifically.

Thank you, kindly.

In the dependent screen, under EIC, pick Student age 19-23.

There is no such box   full time student anywhere except checked on a 1098 T tuition statement
