LR-TDDFT of excited state

Dear all,
I am trying to calculate the absorption spectrum of excited CHBr3 with an extended C-Br bond. CHBr3 is in excited T2, where one HOMO-1 electron is excited to LUMO. I can use the following tag to do it, however, it doesn't necessarily converge to T2 state. Sometimes, it only converges to T1 state.

vectors swap beta 55 56
MAX_OVL

Is it possible to run a first LR-TDDFT calculation with tag CIVECS to export the T2 state and perform the second LR-TDDFT based on the CI vectors from the first step?

If we have to revise the code, what subroutines I should revise?

Thanks a lot!
