My want lists have a place for the bricks I have. It would be nice if the pieces
I purchase through BrickLinks would automatically show up in the haves so I can
keep track. Is there a way to allow this to happen?

You can use «Apply order» button in your wanted list

Beware!

You can “Apply” the same order to multiple lists, hence counting the same bought
brick multiple times.

Worse, you can “Apply” the same order multiple times to the same list.

Better to make “bought lists” and manually (and painfully) change the values
in the “really anted lists” yourself.

I really like the suggestion, I know that the described solution works, but it
is not comfortable.

Reason why it is not comfortable as you wrote:
- I have multiple wanted lists
- When applying an order to multiple wanted lists, you do not see how many bricks
have been assign already.
- After the apply you do not have an overview of how many bricks are left for
use for other things.

So it would be generally better to have a list like "ordered bricks" or "my bricks".
Then from this list apply the order to a wanted list with the same screen as
today. And then decrease the amount of the "my bricks" list by the applyed number.
This would help me to have a view on what I have right after the apply_order_to_wanted_list
function.

And even when I add a new wanted list, with a function like "fill from my bricks",
this would help.
