Setting minimum nights

Can anyone help me to work out the best way to organise my availability settings?   During my High season from June to September - I want all nights to have a minimum stay of 2 nights; regardless of check-in day. So I've set this requirement up in Availability Settings under Additional Requirements as per the screen shot below.  However, I also want to set that from the beginning of April to the end of May that a guest wishing to book a Friday or a Saturday must book a minimum of 2 nights.  How do I then set this requirement up?  If I set up an Additional requirement and put in my dates and then select a minimum of 2 nights - in the drop down next to Check-in Day is ONLY Friday, ONLY Saturday.  I've tried to set up one for Friday and the one for Saturday but the system won't allow it! 😣Screenshot 2021-01-20 at 15.55.25.png

@Alison675 Are you familiar with rule sets?

If you turn on professional hosting tools you can do what you want very easily:

Hi @Emilia42 

No I'm not familiar with them.  I didn't know the existed but will definitely take a look at them. Sounds perfect.

 

Many thanks for that!

You can only set 1 requirement for a specific time period.

A ruleset will do the job, it gives the opportunity to set minimum stay for specific check in days.
