Does Lacerte intend to add Country Code "XX" to the available options for partnership returns prior to the 9/15 filing deadline?

Per the 2022 Instructions for Schedules K-2 and K-3 released by the IRS on February 1, 2023, there is a new country code "XX". However, "XX" is NOT an option in Lacerte. If I try to type in "XX" it only accepts "X" and I get a critical e-file diagnostic .

Any ideas @1569 ?

@Wanda S Make sure "Unknown" from the list of countries is selected. Are you able to get "XX" to print on the K-2 after making the selection? 
Thanks!

Yes! Thank you!

Is there is a suggestion box?

I would like to suggest the option of typing in the two letter code instead of the country name. Often, we only see the two letter code on the K-3 being received and for many that code is NOT intuitive to the actual country. Like "EI" for Ireland or "EZ" for Czech Republic.

I would also suggest putting "XX - Unknown" at the end of the list like "RIC - Regulated Investment Company" and "863b - Section 863(b) Gross Income". Or better yet, putting those special ones at the TOP of the list!
