Building with unit inventory issue

[Civil]

When you select multiple buildings, if you cast a spell with one building, all of the buildings cast that same spell. However if that building has unit inventory, it only casts for the initially selected building, not the whole group. The building in question is 'highlighted' in the selection the same as it would be if you group selected units of different type.

In my map you quite often want to select a whole group of these buildings that have a unit inventory and cast the same spell but have to go and click on each building individually which is inconvenient. Any ideas how to get around this?

You can switch "unit groups" with Tab key, so you can spam hotcast the same spell this way. It's not hard to do with one hand, and it's quite fast.

Painful real workarounds, that I can think of:

• Get rid of vanilla inventory and use simulated inventory
• Simulate ability with custom UI button

Might be the same mechanics as multiple copies of the same hero are grouped separately. It is so you can hotkey use items from them as each might have a different set of items.
