Move to Shortlist

Feature Suggestion (With Zero Hubris and Maximum Respect)
Hi all—longtime OOTP fan, relatively new-to-the-forums here, so bear with me! First off, love this game. I'm still learning the ropes on the boards, so hopefully this suggestion lands in the right place.
The Setup (What I Do):

I organize my draft shortlists into three tiers:

Green – my top-tier “yes, please” prospects
Yellow – “hmm, maybe, keep an eye on them”
Red – “probably not worth my time”

This system keeps things tidy as I scan the draft pool—but the management can get clunky.
The Frustration:

When a player's status changes (say Yellow → Green or Green → Red), I currently have to use a two-step dance:

Add them to the new shortlist
Remove them manually from the old list

It’s like asking the player to pack their own bags—and might I add, I'm already juggling a spreadsheet and three coffees over here.
The Ask:

Could we get a “Move to shortlist…” button that lets us hop a player directly from one bucket into another—no adding, no removing, no extra clicks?
Why This Matters:

Reduces clicks, saves time—it’s just better UX.
Keeps our focus on the draft, not on menu gymnastics.
Shows OOTP cares about polished, real-world workflows.

Anyway, I’d be shocked if I’m the first one to ask for this. If it’s out there already, feel free to direct me to the thread—and sorry in advance if I’m repeating.
Thanks for reading—appreciate any consideration you can spare!

FWIW I've never seen it requested before. It is a good idea and would be a nice quality of life addition.
