Schedule 1, Other Income: How to override in TurboTax

Question

I have other income that is listed on Schedule 1.
Schedule 1 Form line 8 state list type and amount.
Turbo Tax enters "other income 1099-misc".
I want to override the text and put my text in that will describe this "other income" as I believe this would be beneficial for return (potential audit flag removed).
If possible, what are the steps to override the text that Turbo Tax forces onto line 8 of Schedule 1.

You could try deleting your form 1099-MISC from Turbotax, so that the software does not automatically categorize that income.
Then, look for a question in Turbotax that asks you about Other Income. There ought to be a way to manually enter income that has no 1099. It should work to enter the income here even though you do have a 1099.

There are a handful of cases where I have had to adjust information in Turbotax.
There are two ways to enter numbers into the software: question (step-by-step), or directly on the form. There is button on the top to switch modes.
I took a quick look at Schedule 1 in the software. Schedule 1 has a worksheet that feeds it the numbers. In fact line 8 has another worksheet because what can go in there can come from many sources that might be mentioned on other forms.
I am not sure if the text in that line can be modified, but that is where I would start.
