The New Jersey tax return has no provision for a third party designee. You can't enter one because there is no place for it on the New Jersey tax return. The New Jersey tax return in TurboTax doesn't show a third party designee because the state tax return form does not have a place for it.

Hi,

NJ1040 Page 1 has a “… designate … to discuss my return …” in the same block of text with “Federal extension … Do not want a paper form next year…”

so how does one get an “X” in front of it?

The check box that you are looking at says "I authorize the Division of Taxation to discuss my return and enclosures with my preparer." That means a paid preparer who prepares and signs the return, someone you paid to prepare your tax return. If you are filing your tax return yourself with TurboTax you do not have a preparer. So there is no way to check that box in TurboTax because it never applies to a TurboTax return. TurboTax cannot be used by paid preparers.
