Converting UltaTax 2020 files to Pro Series 2021

There is an error in the instructions inside Pro Series 2021 for Client Data Conversion from UltraTaxCS when converting from tax year 2020 to 2021.  

This instruction has an error....

11.An additional file is also needed from the data folder. Open the UltraTax install directory (e.g., C:\WinCSI) and navigate to the UT19DATA folder.
11.1 Find the file CltList.WT9, right-click on it and choose Copy.

"UT19DATA"  should be "UT20DATA" ...and... "CltList.WT9"  should be "CltList.WT0"

The conversion won't work unless you get the correct file for the 2020 tax year.

Reaching out for clarification: You noted "inside ProSeries 2021". Is this a on a certain screen or is a pop-up, or an article link?
Thanks.

When you open PS21, click on  Import-> Client Data Conversion->Submit Client Data for Conversion.  Then, you click through the wizard until you get to the window that says "Ultra Tax CS Software Conversion File Back Up Instructions."  The error is in those instructions.  It also appears on the website here...  https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/form-1040/help/ultratax-cs-backup-instructions-for-data-conv...  These might be correct instructions for converting 2019 to 2020, but they won't work for 2020 to 2021 conversions.
