See an item's links and choose the preferred number

Since 0.6.0.

Every item page has a Links card: the numbers other catalogues use for the item. Brick Work uses them for prices, BrickLink exports and matching orders.

What the card shows

  • One block per catalogue (BrickLink, Rebrickable), with each number in mono type.
  • A status pill. matched (the catalogue or a list says so), inferred (a rule guessed it, such as the set number), manual (you chose it), to check (a guess waiting for your decision). A number that came with the item shows catalogue number or own number.
  • Colour. A number that holds for one colour only shows that colour's swatch and "only"; the other numbers read "All colours", or "All other colours" next to such a one. A leg part, for example, is one BrickLink number in Black and another in every other colour.
  • Used for … marks the number that answers for the colour you are looking at; Preferred marks the one you or a rule preferred.
  • No number. A catalogue with nothing for the item says so, with the reason: no match found, or to check (no candidate, the kind differs, from the migration).

Choose the preferred number

When an item has several numbers at one catalogue (a sticker sheet that BrickLink sells as three), press Choose preferred BrickLink number. Pick a number, then Prefer for all colours, or Prefer for [colour] only. The second adds a number of your own for that colour; the other colours keep their choice. Undo is offered straight after (Undo a change).

An item with no number

An item added without a number says Not identified yet. Price updates skip it, so it shows no sales, and BrickLink export and order matching leave it out. Everything else works. Type its BrickLink number and press Add link, or Merge into a catalogue item (Resolve unresolved items and merge items). A number another item already holds is refused with a pointer to the merge.
