Hey Y'all
This if my first time posting.. Hopefully some of you clever clogs can help me
out with an issue I'm having.
Over the last few months I have been sorting out the parts for about 75 Lego
sets via printing out Bricklink parts lists and marking parts that I need.
This next stage, which I have done a few times before, I just seem to be having
issue with.

I'm wanting to create one single wanted list, and add more pieces to that
last as I go through my printed out sheets of needed pieces.
However, whenever I go to add a new set of wanted pieces from a set, I'm
getting a message saying "wanted list name already exists".

Has anyone else had this issue?
Is there a way around this? or potentially even a better way to get this process
completed?

Any responses greatly appreciated and thanks in advance

You can use the part out a set into Wantlist feature.
Deselect all parts and only select those that you need.

If you are trying to add all of the pieces from different sets to the same list,
you will run into a problem where you have the same part and you can add a part
more than one time to a given list (of the same color). You will be much better
off creating separate lists for each set and then when you go to buy, you can
just include all the sets in your search. This will also make it a lot easier
when you are then parting out your orders to those given sets as you won't
need to have remarks for everything to tell where they go.
