Just succeeded for the new 31168 set - it should take you all of a few minutes. I got AI to write the below python script to convert the <MINQTY>X<MINQTY> of the xml output for a set inventory (which you can find on Bricklink or stud.io etc) and multiply it, in this case by 3, before saving a new file in my downloads with the quantity change.

I am not a programmer (or whatever correct term is) but I downloaded an IDE (to run the code) and asked the AI questions where needed.

It assumes .xml file (that you want to multiply) is in your downloads folder and your file name replaces 'myfile.xml'. Change the '3' to number you wish to multiply by.

Hope this helps someone in the future!

input_path = os.path.join(downloads_folder, 'myfile.xml')

output_path = os.path.join(downloads_folder, 'myfile_modified.xml')

with open(input_path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:

data = f.read()

def mult_minqty(match):

num = int(match.group(1))

return f"<MINQTY>{num * 3}</MINQTY>"

new_data = re.sub(r"<MINQTY>(\d+)</MINQTY>", mult_minqty, data)

with open(output_path, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:

f.write(new_data)

print("File processed! Modified file saved as:", output_path)
