Couple of features that would be useful...

When you upload a design from stud.io to create a wanted list, it would be good
to be able to multiply the wanted quantity by a number. So if you want to make
10 models you don't have to go though each item and alter it manually.

Also, I know you can sort by 'wanted quantity', and by 'have quantity',
but a field that shows what you still need (i.e. wanted - have) would be good
so you can sort by that too.

This already exists. See first and second pics.
Select the checkmark for all items. Click quantity. Enter the number you want
to multiply by.
If there is more than one page, you have to do this for every page of the wanted
list.

Do you mean hiding what you already have?
If so it also already exists. See pic three.
Select "More Options", and then click on hide items.

Nope, these “Items for Sale Hide|Show” buttons are for Hiding/Showing the items
for sale in stores, not the items already bought in your WL.

With Show, under each item in your WL is a list of lots in stores, and they are
filtered and sorted by the other options in the same “Items for Sale Options”
column as the buttons.

The Have field is not fully used on BL.

I think they meant the other feature named "Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want
Qty" in the "More options" panel of the wanted lists search form.

I can confirm the Have field is fully used on BL. Not only in the search but
you can fill this field from orders you purchased, and by default the Buy feature
will not include the parts you already have as much or more than the wanted quantity.

Yes, I brain-farted
It’s the checkbox at the end of the middle column, not the button at the top
of the rightmost one.


  I can confirm the Have field is fully used on BL. Not only in the search but
you can fill this field from orders you purchased,

But Apply Order doesn’t remember what was already applied.


   and by default the Buy feature
will not include the parts you already have as much or more than the wanted quantity.

But fulfilled wanted lots are still shown in stores and there’s no way to filter
them out.

Indeed.

In this case, you can use the "Auto-Fill: Min" feature at the top of the store
page you're currently viewing. It will add as many parts you actually want
(Wanted - Have) from your wanted lists. However, if the store carries multiple
prices for the same part, it will add as many wanted part for each price!

(Wanted - Have) from your wanted lists. However, if the store carries multiple
prices for the same part, it will add as many wanted part for each price!

You have the same kind of problems if you have parts in colour N/A: it “buys”
all the available colours (which may be what you want, or not).

This Auto-Fill is dangerous.  And as you have to check every lot anyway, it’s
useless.

(And I never understood the real usefulness of “Auto-Fill Max.”  When/how often
would someone want that?  It just seems to be there because Min is.)


In the end, I much prefer moving the parts I bought to another list than using
an incomplete Have field feature.

You can filter them out by going to "More Filters" on the upper left under search
on the store page and then clicking on the "Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want
Qty".

Yes but I looked only where I knew there was a “Hide,” so I didn’t see the red
line on your pic.
The eyes may see but the mind is blind.

Ah!  Another thing I missed.

That’s one other communication problem: we don’t know when bugs are fixed / suggestions
implemented.  Things change and we keep our first impression.

When it was introduced, the Have field didn’t work in stores.  It changed rapidly
(“rapid” for BL ) but the damage was done.  At the time, I tried to correct
the people who were saying it didn’t work where it now worked.
And it now seems things changed and I haven’t kept up.  I eventually got fossilized
too

Thank you, I didn't notice the "More Filters" link!
