Hello Team!
It's me back again each semester  ;D

This time I would suggest the use of the current filter values as default values when the user presses the "Add" button for constraints.

For instance, I noticed the importance of this when I was inserting teachers time constraints (SCREEN "Constraints teacher not available times"). Let me explain...

As I had many constraints already set inherited from the previous semester, I was firstly filtering by name and modifying the preferences previously saved. At this moment, when I was filtering by a given name and that name had NO constraints yet, I was forced to "Add" a new constraint to that teacher and several times I included the constraint with the first name on the list, having so to step back and remove the wrong constraint.

I think this mistake happens because our brain thinks: "I have already chosen the name", but it does NOT take into account that it was on the previous screen. So, how about we give a hand to the brain and inherit the values from filters to the next "Add" screen.

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestion! It is a good one, but for now I prefer to only add it in the TODO list.
