Periwinkle65, thank you so much for responding with this summary. I was going to try to do something similar this afternoon.
I believe you are right that the TT software was modified a couple of years ago which made the issue less onerous but it did not completely solve the issue.
I haven't been using the exact solution you proposed. I have been identifying a couple of countries (which account for most of my 1116 income) separately and putting the rest in "Various". Your solution sounds simpler than what I have been doing and I will try it when I get around to completing my taxes over the next few weeks.
