SET(M) online form: can't enter all absences?

Preparing SET (M) for spouse who travels often on short business trips. Entered 30 UK absences (tedious process on the form . . . ) and then the form stops offering to add more. That's about 2 years of entries. Not sure how far back to go, but what to do with the form that won't cooperate?

Is there even any absences requirement for spouse?

For Set M usually only absence longer than 6 months needs to be declared as far as I understand, unless this has changed with the online process.

The form does not instruct whether to enter only longer absences. It simply states to enter any absence. I assume there is a reason for them to ask, but I can't comply with the question because it cuts off after 30 entries.

Is there perhaps a way to supply a spreadsheet with absence details as additional information?

You can complete a spreadsheet and upload it with your other documents.
