Nova Scotia Children’s Sports and Arts Tax Credit

[getsky]

Trying to determine how to apply for the Nova Scotia Children’s Sports and Arts Tax Credit.  There doesn't appear to be an option in Ufile that I can see. 

Any help is appreciated.   Details of the tax credit here:

Hello getsky

In the Interview section go to the Dependant's file :

Left hand side of Interview :

>>Nova Scotia - Children's sports and arts tax credit <NEW]

The only option in Nova Scotia tax credits is the option to select "NS479 line 62400 - Nova Scotia volunteer firefighters and ground search and rescue tax credit". Children's sports and tax credit does not appear anywhere in the interview page. The NS479 is the same tax credit form as the Children's sports and tax credit, but there is nowhere to actually claim the sports and tax credit on Ufile. Is this an error on Ufile?

How do we claim it if the program has nowhere to enter the claim? And there doesn't seem to be a way to manipulate line 47900 on the return.
