How to simulate EnergyPlus with different time interval schedule?

I want to use a 15-minute time interval schedule for EnergyPlus simulation. I created a new object in the Schedule:Day:List category and entered a 15-minute interval schedule and set 'Number of people schedule name' as a new schedule in the 'People' category. Also, 'Timestep' changed to 4.
However, EP simulation wasn't run and gave me an error below.

* Severe * GetInternalHeatGains: People="PEOPLE_UNIT1", invalid Number of People Schedule Name entered=SCHEDULE1 * Fatal * GetInternalHeatGains: Errors found in Getting Internal Gains Input, Program Stopped

How to run the simulation with the new 15-minute interval schedule? I'm using EnergyPlus 24.1v
