[sims] Nova T6 Duplicate Curriculum Names Issue

[Miller2]

I am getting a duplicate group names issue and I'm not sure why.

 

This is a photo of the blocks. https://ibb.co/pLmmSSp

 

This is a photo of the error report. https://ibb.co/sQQspKF

 

Now the help page (photo here: https://ibb.co/xM4F2ZG) says that it should only be an issue in any one of 3 scenarios, and all 3 is if there are classes in the same subject in the other blocks. Which ours doesn't have. So I'm not sure why it's bringing it up as an error. And more so, if it has an issue with the humanties and core blocks, why doesn't it have an issue with the PE block as that also has the same group name. If I delete maths and science out the core block the error goes away.

 

Is this a glitch that needs a patch (if so does anyone know what patch to ask for) or am I missing something???

It's only a guess, as it's been a looooonnnng time since I did anything with Nova, but I thought * could only be used for single classes

 

Whereas it should be ? for Linear groups/blocks

 

Which would explain why PE is happy as it's * which is correct (single class Pe2), but the others as they're linear should be ? which are the two complaining? (Ar1, Dr1 etc etc)

Still doesn't work with the ?

 

It's not a "class" it has an issue with. There aren't any duplicate class names. It's the group name being the same it has the issue with, so having a 7WA in the core block and a 7WA in the humanities block. But then no idea why it is OK with having a 7WA in the PE block. It's so frustrating.

Only just saw this so I'm a bit late - but I definitely came across it too when I last used SIMS a year or two ago.

Nova didn't like the same group names in different linear blocks but didn't mind for single classes.

I did see if I could find fixes at the time but could only get round it by adding an extra character to the group names in at least one of the linear blocks, to distinguish them.
