I'm using FET for planning our lectures. At this, each lecture comes with four, five or even more tutorials. For instance I add the subject "Math 1 Tutorial", then adding ten activities with that subject but for different student groups. Teachers usually prefer that consecutive tutorials are planned in the same room so that they don't have to switch the room for each tutorial.
At the moment I'm realizing this demand by adding "Space -> Activities -> A set of activities are in the same room if consecutive". From the functional point of view, this solution is working for me. However, it's a lot of work and there always is the risk of missing something.
Wouldn't it be possible to add a property "Activities of this subject are in the same room if consecutive" to subjects defined in Data -> Subjects?
hmm.. can't you use space constraint -> activities -> a set of activities use the same room if they a consecutive

So "subject same room if consecutive"? It can be done, but I don't want to add this in the official FET, at least for now, because I prefer to keep the number of constraints as small as possible. Also, I am not sure many people will use this.
Or better "activity tag same room if consecutive"?
I can do this as a custom version for you.
