Form NJ-1040NR for 2020 was filed Taxpayer Only instead of Jointly with Spouse

Even though I had chosen Joint returns for Federal and State, when I did a Lacerte update in mid-October before my final tax calculation the NJ-1040NR filing status changed from Joint to Spouse Only and the calculation changed without my realizing it.  Does anyone have a solution for fixing this because I'm not sure how to change this to Joint filing when I don't see anywhere that I have chosen a Joint filing?

Thanks for your help.  In the past, I have not had to force a Joint return for NJ when only one spouse has NJ income but looks like that changed for 2020.
