'Check Next Playing Tag' for Repeat Protection in Scheduled Tracks

I would like to request a feature for RadioBOSS software. Currently, when generating and using playlists alongside scheduled tracks (e.g., 'Dance Track of the Hour' or 'Sponsored Track of the Hour'), there is a 'Check Last Playing Tag' option available. Would it be possible to add a 'Check Next Playing Tag' option as well? This would ensure that if a playlist has an artist lined up, the scheduled track would not feature the same artist as the one coming up next in the playlist.
Thank you in advance...

This feature already exists, option called "Repeat protection with consideration for the playlist tracks": https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/settings2.htm

You should adjust its configuration - how many tracks/minutes to check.
 
Can only be used in playlist generator.... I do not use playlist generator. I used the Scheduler to do my line up for each day. My 4 stations are primarily talk radio (podcasts). However, there is music sprinkled in as well. I set the scheduler to play a random song in one of my music directories, categorized by year. Some songs get played the same day twice, and I have well over 150 music selections in each directory. I just want to be able to choose randomly AND don't play the same song on the same day is all. I own 4 licenses of RB one for each of my 4 online stations. I know my operation of RB is very different than most. But RB is the most stable platform I have used in the last 5+ years. And I have used most of them, including SAM Broadcaster Pro. Choose random files; just don't play the same file twice in a day or any setting that gives some sort of a buffer. Bottom line question: Can the scheduler be set to not play the same song twice in a day? Or work around to accomplish this.
