Mistake on online form

Hi dear people,
I’ve submitted the online application tonight.
Unfortunately, I’ve realised I made an error and included an absence of 22/12/18 to 30/12/19, this period alone being ofer 365 days. Obviously, I meant to put 30/12/18..
The other thing I’ve realised is that I came to the UK in 2012 and have included all absences since 2012. This would make the application go above 450 days as it’s covering a period of 7 years. If you look at the past 5 years then that would be under 450 days.
Questions:
1. Regarding the wrong date inserted, what is the best way to correct this? I am hoping it’s possible...
2. Regarding the absences. Should I also include something to ask them to only consider the past 5 years?
Many thanks for your help.. really stressed out about this now, looking for some solutions and peace of mind...

Relax. Print the relevant pages, edit manually, add a cover letter and upload the edit pages along with all other documents BEFORE the UKVCAS appointment. You will be okay.

Simply the corrections if any. Absences are only needed for the last 5 years qualifying period. I would advise you to correct the wrong date inserted though.

Thank you. So I'll make the correction.
Was I right to include every absence from 2012 or should I have included just the ones from 2014 onwards? As mentioned previously, I'm over the 450 days in the 7 year period but I have 420 days outside the country in the last 5 years. Would they automatically just look at the last 5 years or should I mention this in the cover letter as well?

Your application is only based on 5 years qualifying period. You should only have mentioned 5 years absences. If I was you, I would clarify it also as I dont like taking any risks with HO.
