I received an error on a Pennsylvania sch E, foreign rental property, Pcity-1, has too many characters. Why am I getting this error?

The final review process of the return says "Hidden rent/royalty worksheet (sch E, copy 1) Pcity-1, has too many characters" This is a foreign property owned by a US citizen. I have never had this error before, he did dispose of the property in 2018. How do I fix this error so I can electronically file his return. Is this a program error?

Try abbreviating the entries?  It's just a cosmetic change.

Did not work, of course I tried that first. I also tried to delete the sch E and have it flow through again from the Fed return. Is there a program update coming for this? Apparently many tax professionals are having errors similar to this.
