I am getting an error message in the Google form for CONSORT-EHEALTH suggesting that the text I am entering is too long

The CONSORT-EHEALTH form is a Google form and we are unfortunately not able to increase the character limit, which we believe is around 1000.

Please shorten the text to the most important information (you do not have to use full sentences, just list the most important points separated by semicolon).

If this still does not fit, append at the end of the text something like "(for further information see manuscript, heading "HEADING")", where HEADING is the subheading in the manuscript which contains more information on the procedure.
