Please show in the order details, the set from which pieces were ordered. As
a seller, this would be hugely helpful in finding the ordered pieces and sending
the order within a reasonable time.

Voted no as this really isn't possible. Pieces can and do come from a multitude
of sets so which one it comes from cannot be isolated except in rare circumstances.

When parting out a set you can choose default remark. I always set the set nr
as default remark. Would this solve your issue?

This is what I do. Not necessarily the set, but the remarks line shows where
I will find the piece. There is a setting to show remarks on your orders.

If I part out a set, I add the set number to the comments which then shows up
in the order info.

This however has a drawback, it adds a separate entry for each of the parts each
time you part out a new set, you could end up with many parts listed numerous
times.

Might deter some from ordering but you can find the set quicker.

When you upload or part out a set, you can set up concatenation settings that
will combine old and new remarks, so you don't have this problem. Customers
get pretty frustrated shopping in bL stores that have the same part in several
lots.

I will try this next few sets, thanks.

Looked at it but wary of trying until now.

Also voted no, as the current way is more flexible than what you propose. If
you want the set number, just add it as a remark. Also if you are not checking
inventories and sorting the parts out when you part out, watch out for variants
and extra parts.
