I recommend an option for stores and easy buy to be able to add different colors
of the same part when trying to buy in bulk. For example let's say I'm
trying to get 100x 1x4 plates any color will do, create an option to add 1x4
plates of any color from the seller. Say the seller has 40x in yellow and 60x
in white, if I click this option all 100x would be added to my cart. This would
be really useful for moc builders. Thanks for the consideration!

Don't you just need to put 'N/A' in the colour for this to work?

No, with N/A, the algorithm chooses one colour for the entire lot. It doesn’t
split the lot in different colours.
Worse, a few weeks ago, I tried a WL with many lots in N/A and Auto-select affected
the same colour to all the lots in N/A. And it was Dark Red, the most expensive
colour for all the lots!
Auto-select’s choice made the WL €3,000. Simply setting the colours to the cheapest
colour (with Studio’s help) told me the 6-month average was aroung €300, and
Auto-select found them a bit cheaper.
IOW: Don’t use Auto-select/EasyBuy on lots in N/A. You should rather find the
cheapest colour(s) yourself, and maybe split the lots and/or lower the quantity
if there’s many cheap colours.
Actually, if there’s many cheap colours, that means the parts are easy to find,
so better not include the lot in Auto-select and wait for when you have stores
selected for the other lots to complete your WL.
Anyway, you’ll rarely (or should not) be happy with the first run of Auto-select.
