Not enough space on the subject line! When adding a part to the catalog, we
have to scroll through every catagory in the catalog. I mostly add minifig pieces,
halfway down the list. And it is especially frustrating when the item number
I choose is already pending in the catalog and I have to scroll through it all
again. All of these categories have a number and I have considered just changing
my routine to adding the number on the pending items screen. I just haven't
done that because it feels improper to submit it without the category and I might
forget. If it were an option, that is the option I would use.

I used to get quite frustrated with that, too, until I discovered that any one
of these scrolling menus can be navigated by typing in what you're looking
for.

So just click on the menu and type in what you need. The menu will go there.
Makes everything much quicker and easier.

Because we are generally not going in the direction of users entering codes,
I have discarded this request. However, the helpful comment from StormChaser
I believe will partially solve your frustration.

Also, I have filed a bug report for the category field getting reset when the
"Item Number is being used" flag is triggered. And we will likely add a "Verify
Item Number" feature to that page as well.

That is a good fix, thanks!

OK, this is fixed now. I have tested it on a couple of item types and the form
no longer erases the category when a flag is triggered. Please let us know if
something still needs adjustment.

Also deployed at this time, when conducting an Advanced Catalog Search and using
the additional button pane, upon reversing back to the page after viewing search
results (presumably to tweak a setting) the additional pane will remain in place.

I know these seem little changes, but it would be great if all that is done was
added to the Roadmap: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2453

I like to see this site improving and also it would show everyone that a lot
of work is being done. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion! We have made dozens of these little improvements over
the last few months and it would undoubtedly encourage people to hear about them.
