The 2019 version of  ProSeries Basic allows us to enter the aggregate total of the transactions by category  ( Box A, B, C or D)   on the worksheet without entering any data on the Date Sold and Date Acquired boxes  so long as we mark the holding period as either S ( for short-term) and L ( long-term). On the 2020 version, I can enter " VARIOUS" on the Date Acquired box  but it requires a specific date input on the Date Sold box. Last year, if the client has numerous 1099-B transactions, I just entered the Summary total and then paper filed the details using form 8543. 

Is there a work around to bypass the "Date Acquired" box without the program giving an error?
