Income from renting abroad added to total income (ZHservices – Online). Shouldn't it be added to different section?

Hi there,
I have completed recently “Steuererklärung” on ZHservices – Online (Zurich) with tax separation feature for isolating income from renting abroad (Liegenschaften) and noticed that the income for renting out from abroad (‘Entrag aus anderen Liegenschaften’ Seite, Ziffer 6.4) has been added to ‘Total der Einkunfte’ (Seite 2, Ziffer 7).

Shouldn’t web app (ZHservices – Online) list it somewhere else in the tax form for purpose of increasing the base for tax rate, instead adding to taxable income (which it isn’t, thanks to double tax treaty)?

Unless, it is just how this software works (not optimal, and forcing questions) and a taxman will do arcana magic with his analytical spells and everything will fall into the correct cosmic order?

Is there another place that mentions Ausscheidung?

Yes: Interkantonale/Internationale Steuerausscheidung. With table ‘Angaben zu den Liegenschaften’ in which there is a column: Entrag.

And then another such page with table: Einkommen and 3 columns:
Gesamt laut Steuererklärung
Kanton Zürich
Kanton/Land ubr - under which the incomes are listed.

Edit: And just noted one more with column “Ausland” (bingo) filled with correct numbers.

Thanks for assistance with this.
