Hi, The rules say "An IPR disclosure must include the following information to the extent reasonably available to the discloser...". (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8179#section-5.4.1 ). So the form should allow empty fields for the case that the information is *not* reasonably available to the discloser. (Did you try entering "unknown" in the form?)
