I have kits in "Started" in a actual project, but it is may be a while ago while I set this. I was able to move one to "Started".
Do mean an automatic setting?

Maybe, I just know I have several kits in "in progress" projects, but they don't show up in "started". I don't see how to mark a kit as "started". Here's an example project: LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin | Project by Ben M (1:720)

Open the project page, open the + on the right for the related kit.
Click on the grey "Move" and then you can select another state.

Before someone asks:

Your project can be started, but the different items part of your project may not.

Oh thank you, I looked for something like this and did not find it myself! I do have one remaining question - for example on this kit I see "Started 1×|Projects 1×" - I've always found this confusing. Does scalemates think I have two copies of the kit?

bughunter
No, that only links.
A example: the turnbuckle set with 30 turnbuckles on the plate for my biplanes. I can start it, and set it to complete, if all 30 are used and the plate is empty.
On the other hand I can link this plate to 3 projects: 10 for the first biplane, 12 on the next and 8 for the last.
A bit artificial example but I hope you got the point.

That makes sense. I ended up removing decal sheets from my stash because a lot of them are multitopic and were showing up 6 or 8 times and I found it confusing.

you can choose how multitopic items appear in your stash, by going to preferences, ans select "Hide double multitopic items in stash."

Thanks for all the help, mates!
