I have a wanted list for a Spider-man bust by bricker builds. I uploaded the
thousands of pieces, but I want to change the color of the elements.

Is there an easy way to for example select all red lego elements and change to
black?

1. Open the WL and click More Options,
2. Search your WL for red parts,
3. Set the number of items per page to 100,
4. Check the box on the left of the header, it will check all the boxes on the
left of the items on the page, thus selecting them all,
5. Click the Color button in the header,
6. Do the same for the following pages.

That’s because you have (at least) one part twice: once in Red and once in the
colour you want to change the Red parts in.
So if you changed the Red one, you’d have twice the same part in the same colour…
and BL can’t handle that, so it says no to everything.

One solution is to first go through the parts sorted by type… and if a part is
both in Red and in the “destination” colour, increase the quantity of the destination
colour and delete the red one.
That could become quickly boring.

Another solution is to do that in Studio.
If you have the model already in the .io format (or .lxf or .ldr), just load
it, select the parts by color and repaint them.  Then upload as a Wanted List.
If you only have the Wanted List, it becomes complicated….
