Schur–Brauer version of van der Waerden's theorem for semimodules

Let G=B1BqG=B_1\cup\dotsm\cup B_q be a finite partition of a semimodule (G,+)(G,\pmb{+}) over a semiring (R,+,)(R,+,\cdot). For a subset FRF\subseteq R, write Fb={fb:fF}Fb=\{fb:f\in F\}. Schur–Brauer version of van der Waerden's theorem. One of the sets BjB_j has the property that, for every finite subset FF of RR, there are elements aGa\in G and bBjb\in B_j with bob\not=\boldsymbol{o} such that

a+FbBj.a\pmb{+}Fb\subseteq B_j.

This is posed as an open question closely related to the paper's semimodule versions of van der Waerden's theorem and to Schur–Brauer-type partition results. The source does not state a resolution.
