Why does artist separation not work in rotation?

Greetings to everyone from Ukraine!

Can anyone explain why the function of separating artists in the rotation does not work in RadioDJ?
The thing is that separation of artists, both individual and duos, works correctly only if you specify in AutoDJ settings that only one track is contained in the playlist. Then, conditionally, [Shakira] will be separated from [Shakira ft. Maluma].
But if you load a whole rotation (say, 60 minutes) into the playlist, the artists are not separated properly and [Shakira] will be placed next to [Shakira ft. Maluma], even though the repeat time is set to at least 45 minutes.

All relevant settings have been made (in the AutoDJ section and in the rotation itself). All the relevant artists are listed in the song cards, i.e., for example, for the track [Shakira ft. Maluma], in the Associated Artist field, we have [shakira,maluma] and so on. And the same with other artists, for example, [Jennifer Lopez] - [Jennifer Lopez ft. Wisin] and so on...

I'll repeat: everything works correctly if you keep no more than one song in the playlist window. But if you have more than one, it doesn't work. The same thing happens if you select a playlist from the rotation in the playlist editor.

It's a real shame. I've spent a lot of time researching this issue, but there is no answer. It is very inconvenient that it is impossible to create a playlist and load it into the player to see at least a whole hour in the playlist.

I can show screenshots of my settings if needed. Perhaps dear Mr. Marius can help with the problem?
