ROS insists on 100% of personal tax credit despite non-residency

Hi all,
Bit of a strange one for me. I am sure some bright spark here will be able to explain the reason.

So I have rental income in Ireland and every year I do my return on ROS and every year it calculates my personal tax credit based on the amount of my Irish taxable income relative to worldwide income and because I am under the 75% threshold it spits out an apportioned personal tax credit rather than giving me the credit in full, which is correct. This year the ROS calculator spits out the full personal tax credit (€1650) for 2021, even though my Irish income is less than 75% of my worldwide income. Just to be sure I tried it with fictitious amounts 10000/1000 to give me a 10% figure for my Irish income and it still gives me this €1650 credit.

What else changed? Well I got married last year and I have entered this into ROS but I am claiming separate assessment as before as my wife and I are both non-resident. Is this a bug or a feature? I do not want to claim a credit that ROS calculates where I believe I have only a partial entitlement to that credit.

Any ideas?

Edit: Nevermind, the calculate button does nothing but when you just continue through the form it does calculate the correct figure.
