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.

We are users like you and don't know what Intuit has planned for the software.

Since abbreviating your entries didn't work and the error message says "Hidden rent/royalty worksheet", not sure if it's something deeper you can't (easily) access.  You may like to contact Support when the reopen tomorrow.
