If you have an order of 50+ different items, each one has to be individually
removed from your want list.

A simple "remove order items from want list" option would save regular buyers
hours of time.

It (somewhat) already exists: button “Apply Order.”

BUT
1. You have to be careful because you can apply the same order multiple times,
even on the same list.  It doesn’t remember what it did.  So if you have several
WLs, and they share some parts, it’ll let you think you bought everything when
you might not.
(E.g. you have 10x Red 2x4 bricks in WL1 and WL2, so a total of 20x, you buy
15x, you apply the order to the two lists, and the two lists have a “Have” of
10x.  Not good.)

2. The “Want” fields are unchanged.  The “Have” field is not used consistently
everywhere: sometimes it’s the “Want minus Have” quantity that’s used (good),
sometimes it’s “Want” and “Have” is disregarded (bad).

It was even worse in the beginning but this situation has not changed in 4 years. 
So don’t hold your breath.
