I made a purchase yesterday and I was going to wait until my wanted list updated
but 24 hours later the list is the same.
I do not want to accidently purchase multiple pieces.
When will the wanted list reflect my purchae?

TIA

Never.

There only is the “Apply Order” feature.

It’s a button on the top row when you visit a WL.
Click on it, it’ll show a dialog to choose an order.
The “application” will change the “Have” fields.
The “Want” fields will stay unchanged.
The progression percentage will change.

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).

(And there might also be problems with lots in the colour N/A (means “any” in
a WL).  I’m not sure how Apply Order handles that, whether all coloured ordered
lots match a wanted N/A lot, or only one (which one?) or none….)

So, we all do it with searches, lot per lot, and “ordered” lists (make a list
from your orders; you can do that from the cart, just after checkout or from
the order details page) (because it’s not because an item has been ordered that
you have it; wait for it to arrive before deleting it from your WL).
(And the N/A colour is still a problem here….)
