| I created several wanted lists for different parts of a project.
I would like to merge them to make ordering easier.
I tried downloading the individual lists, to reupload them in a new list, but
the format used for downloading isn't supported when uploading (this is really
strange to me, but ok)
So I tried copying the parts to a new list. This worked for the first list. However
when I tried doing the same on the second list, it warned me that at least one
the parts was already in the new list. And yeah, some parts are used by different
lists. I would expect the app to merge them, that is, if both lists have the
same part, then the new list will have 2x that part. But apparently this is not
what happens.
What other options do I have to merge my lists? Other than looking up every individual
part once again.
Thanks.

You could download Brickstore and use that to download each wanted list, combine
them into one file and re-upload them.

Hi,
First, you don’t need to merge the WLs to order them together.
Just go to the Buy page (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page ) and tick
the boxes in the Wanted Lists tab in the panel on the left.
You can also select/unselect items by using the Wanted Items tab.

You need to use the second tab on the upload page (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/upload.page
).
You’ll need to _paste_ the content of a Wanted List (one at a time, you can’t
paste them all at once).
To be clear:
— the BL WL XML format can only be pasted, not uploaded as a file (like can be
done with other formats),
— it can only be done on the upload page, not from the upload button inside a
WL.
🤷♂️

Uploading by pasting XML on the upload page works. The verification page shows
a warning but it clearly says the quantity will be added to the previous one,
so it’s what we want.
Another solution is to use third-party tools, like BrickStore (application) or
Rebrickable (website).
