Set-O form time spent outside the UK section (same day entry/exit from a country)

So i have reached the point in the form where i list out all the times i have been outside the UK over the L5Y. The form doesn't allow me to enter the same dates ie when i flew into a country for just a day (flew in the morning and flew out in the evening). Would i then need to put down different dates for the entry / exit dates even though the its a single day?

Additionally, would places where i have just had a transit also count ie would i need to add a country if i stopped there for 4 hours at the airport waiting for my flight to my final destination? Again, the same issue here would be that the form doesn't accept the same dates for entry/exit so not sure what i should fill in here,

Because ONLY full days count towards absences. Leaving/entry days do NOT count. Also, the details of your travel/transit are irrelevant.
