Missing "Absences" section on ILR application for Skilled Worker Dependant? (SET O)

Hi everyone,

​I am currently filling out the ILR application for my wife as a Skilled Worker Dependant using the SET(O) online form. I recently got my own ILR (Feb 2025), and she is approaching her 5 year anniversary (arrived Feb 2021, eligible Jan 2026). ​I have noticed something strange: the form isn’t asking for a detailed list of her absences from the UK. I was expecting a table to list every trip abroad, but it hasn't appeared.

Is this normal? Not sure how to provide her absences and prove 180 day limit.

I just want to make sure I haven't selected the wrong category or missed a trigger question that opens up that section.

​Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
