Thanks to the quick responses from Liviu and Volker.

Setting tags to subactivities really help.

Many thanks

I am a teacher from Hong Kong SAR and have used your software for eight years. Your software is brilliant and just wanna make it better for other people around the world.

I can't add an activity tag to a subactivity. Instead, I can only add a tag to the whole activity. So, "Subject+tag" doesn't solve the problem.

Now I do it in two ways:

Method 1
Phy1: 2+2 with preferred room Phy-Lab
Phy2: 1+1+1
Set "min days" among all above 5 activities

Method 2
Phy: 2+2+1+1+1 with min days 1
Use "An activity has a preferred room" twice

My suggestion 1:
Like those in time constraints, there is a checkbox "duration"
If there is also a checkbox "duration" in the space constraints "Subjects" / "Tags"
I can use "duration 2" for the lab setting

My suggestion 2:
Like those in time constraints, there is a concept of subactivities
If there is also subactivities setting in the space constraints "Subjects" / "Tags"
I can use "subactivity 1" and "subactivity 2" for the lab setting

If 7 Physics lessons with 2+2+1+1+1 should be placed each day and the double lessons are lab lessons. With the following two add-ons, we could be more convenient.

A set of subactivities has a preferred room
A set of subactivities has a set of preferred rooms
option: a checkbox of requiring the same room
