I'm currently struggling with multiple wish lists, and updating the owned
parts with my orders, to keep track of how many I still need.
My lists often share the same conbinations of pieces&color, and this prevent
me from applying orders on more than one, without messing the overall count.
(This also prevent me from merging my lists.)
I think it would be great to be able to apply an order on multiple wish lists,
making sure pieces applied to a list aren't applied to the other ones.
You would have to specify which list is the first one, the second one and so
on, and the algorithm would apply the order to the first list, then the remaining
pieces to the second one, and so on.
An alternative feature would be to be able to merge lists which have conflicts
(same pieces&color combinations). Why not addition the wanted quantities, owned
quantities and concatenate the comments? It should be fine with a message explaining
how it deals with the conflicts and asking for confirmation.
Merge my wish lists. Then I can apply my orders on it without risking to update
the same part more than intended. (Which could happen if you apply an order on
multiple wish lists containing the same parts.)
But the merge feature doesn't allow to merge wish lists having conflicts
(same combinations of piece&color).
Though, I realised it's possible to merge them by uploading a list and add
its pieces into another one. When there is identical items, it will combine them
additionning wanted quantities together, and owned quantities together.
To merge wish list "B" into wish list "A"
1) Download list "B" (as XML)
2) Use "Upload" from the "Want" menu
3) Select "Upload BrickLink XML format"
4) Copy & past the content of the file B.xml (produced at step 1)
5) Select wish list "A"
6) Click "Proceed to verify"
(review the result)
7) Click "Add to Wanted List"
(optional: rename list "A": "A & B", and delete list "B")

When I try to do this I get an error:
The document entered contains duplicate item/color combinations. Only one item
of each item/color combination is allowed.
Please fix the following duplicates:
Item No: 2420, Color: 86
..
etc

Does this method still work ?
This method works: I just (re)tested it by uploading twice the same XML to a
WL. No problem. The Verify items page only warns me that some items are duplicates
and the quantity will be added.
Now, if the XML already contains duplicates, that won’t work.
Fix your WL before downloading it (or at least before uploading it).
