How can I link my rental income to Schedule E when "review" revealed putting the income on Schedule C or E, but the fields are not editable/grayed out?

I need to make sure to connect my rental income to Schedule E. I added rental income using 1099-MISC information. During the review before filing, it prompted me to link to Schedule C or E (my case) to get my info in the right place. I followed the steps in the instructions, but it keeps having the error, and I cannot add income amount on Box 1 under Schedule E as it's grayed out.

Rather than enter the IRS form 1099-MISC and attach the income to your rental activity, recommend reporting the IRS form 1099-MISC income within the rental activity.

In TurboTax Premier Online, follow these steps:

Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages & income.
Click to the right of Rentals, Royalties, and Farm.
Click to the right of Rental Properties and Royalties.
At the screen Your 2024 rentals and royalties summary, click the pencil icon to the right.
At the screen Here's rental property info, select Add income to report rental income.
Select Form 1099-MISC.
