Serves / Change and convert portions

[zunami]

Unfortunately, there is no option to change the portions / serves so that the units of measure are converted.
I find it strange that there is a pencil symbol next to the serves but it doesn't work.

I would like to have this function to get the correct quantities. PLEASE

for info with Nextcloud recipes this function works

Hey thanks for your feedback.

Scaling recipes is currently only possible with Ingredients separated into Amount | Unit | Food.

See our FAQ on Smart Ingredient Handling for more information
https://docs.mealie.io/documentation/getting-started/faq/#how-do-i-enable-smart-ingredient-handling

I agree that the button is confusing if the option to scale the recipe does not exist. I will put that on my todo list to remove.

I have created an PR (#4849) that will remove the icon and keepthe default cursor to reduce confusion around this.

I will close this discussion. Thanks again for your feedback.

that's why i would also like to see the portioning and due conversion here.

not only that the button is changed

Customizing the portions would be a great option. One of the functions that currently prevents me from saving all my recipes in Mealie. Would it be possible to have this function in the future?
