2018 Form 1041 NOL error

ProSeries 2018 has an error on Form 1041 stating that "Form 1041: Line 15b amount is not valid. The amount must be significant on this field for electronic filing." The error appeared after updating ProSeries. Line 15b is for a Net Operating Loss Deduction, but the client does not have a NOL deduction. We tried entering 0 but it will not accept it. We also tried efiling with the error checking turned off, but it does not work. Is there a fix for this error?

If you right click on Line 15b and choose Cross Reference does it take you to where that line number is generating the message from?

It goes to the Schedule of Net Operating Loss Carryovers. We tried 0's on the lines but the error does not go away.

I just got off the phone with Intuit Tech Support.  This issue is being sent to the programmers to fix.  There was not a definite answer on how long that was going to take to be completed.

does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the return to efile with the error in it?

I had this happen on a 1041 yesterday...I hadnt even entered any income into the return, but it had Line 15b highlighted pink as an error...I exited the file and came back to it later to make entries (I figured I could at least get it completed, even if I couldn't file until that issue was fixed) and by the time I had finished entering everything, the error was gone, I have no clue what I did or didnt do to make it happen, it was really weird.
