Data import to Protaxconnect from QBO causes incorrect EIN to replace return EIN that extension filed, need to change EIN after locked from E-file, seems like a huge bug

I created a return pro-forma'd from prior year and filed an extension, which locks the EIN field.  However, when I import the data from QBO to the return, the EIN is overwritten by an incorrect EIN and I am unable to update it.  I have no idea where the incorrect EIN is being pulled from or how it is possible that it overwrites the EIN I e-filed under.  May be it is a glitch on this return, not sure this can be fixed, seems like a huge bug, at least a big problem for this return

It's pretty typical that a QB user never changed the EIN when they changed entities, and unless someone is using the QB for payroll. it might go unnoticed. Or, that also is wrong. Or, you had the wrong one, and they never told you.
