New Partnership EIN autofilling

I just added a new partnership and entered the EIN and Lacerte overrode what I entered and auto-filled it with a random EIN from a drop down list.  Why in the world would the client EIN have a dropdown?

This is the first time this has happened and there was no way to override back to the EIN I originally entered.  Other options from the dropdown list (mind you, I'm in the EIN field for the new partnership) were all occupations (Retired, waiter, farmer, etc).  What the heck is going on? 

I went in to an existing file and deleted the EIN and it did the same thing when I tried to put it back in.  The only way I could get it to work was right click on the dropdown list and "add" a new ein so it would appear in the list.

    We've had this happen to us multiple times, a fix would be nice.

    I know times are tough at Tesla, but I didn't realize some of their self driving engineers are now employed as tax software programmers. 😬

    Edit your 'tables'.

    That is where all this info is stored.

    That won't fix Lacerte replacing entries with other entries. Do you have this issue and fixed it this way?
